Nikon D7000 300mm f4 + TC-17e ISO 500 1/1000s at f8 lens resting on grass mound whilst laying prone.

Rare blue sky day. Buzzard looking for lunch. All C+C warmly welcomed.

I think I prefer the original posting, the habitat nicely frames the subject :toast:

I prfer a lanscape crop with the buzzard looking off but find the original is a touch too sharp.

I also like the first image, it does set the buzzard off nicely in its habitat as mentioned.

Definitely the first Nick. I really like this. Plenty of space for the bird to look around in. I find Buzzards, although as common as muck, are very difficullt to get a decent shot in the open and not on man-made perch. Cracking image. :toast: :toast:
