I'm sure they do it just to annoy us, Neil. There does seem to be a bit of a halo around the edges of the bird, or is that just dark bird against bright background? It is a smashing shot whatever.

Hi Neil, a little Curves adjustment might add some 'pop' to it? Understand why, but the LRH corner just detracts, would look better with keeping the snow the same and just converting the TM to a % of black. :wink:

A great capture and the bird is nice and sharp. i do find the triangular shape slightly un-natural though :wink:

Actually Bob it is a good way of spotting them from a distance, crows and slender and more horizontal, buzzards always sit triangular... here at least ;)

Thanks.
