SEO fly past
D7000 500mm f4 ISO 400 1/4000s at f8 tripod.

Taken on my Mull holiday. This location was the most productive location for SEO's and hen harriers along with other moorland species but was at sea level! All C+C warmly welcomed.

nice colours and light here Nick. I think I'd prefer a bit more of the darker land at the bottom of the image as it looks a little cut off at the moment, but that's being very picky.

Hi Nick, I can only go by what I see and therefore to me, it looks rather heavy on the yellow, but not knowing the conditions I can only assume. By reducing the yellow the greens come through more and selectively adjusting the whites & neutrals, moving the RH slider in Levels a fraction on the RH side to meet the horizontal bar, the owl pops a bit more, just my take. :wink:

Would agree with Matt about having more hedge (darker land) at the foot of the image. Good to hear you had a productive time.

Looks like you had pretty good light, nice shot with plenty of environment and speed!
