My first Peak Dipper
Popped up to the Peak District to have a go at Dippers for the first time Friday. I was chuffed I managed to find some not have been before, a bonus I managed some half decent shots. The light was quite varied from bright sun to bright but overcast.

D2X 200-400mm 1/125@F5 ISO 400 -0.3EV

Hi Colin

An excellent start on the dippers. I like the proportions of the bird in the frame and the composition, it makes for an appealing image.

cheers

Hi Colin,
A very fine result with the bird being a nice size in the frame and I like the composition with the curved branch running through the lower part of the frame.Nice positioning of the bird and attractive backdrop too. :toast:
