One from a recent trip to the Bagshot heaths, my target species were a bit elusive so I had to contend with this obliging fellow.

Olympus E-3, 300mm f2.8 plus 2x tc, iso 400, 1/500s at F5.6, tripod

A couple of twigs removed in processing to give a cleaner presentation

Could have been higher in the frame for me but not something I get to shoot often. Nice one.

Agree with Neil re the comp and a touch further left too ( just like my Med Pip

) The colour palette works really well too.

Not sure if its the crop or use of a 2x TC but there is not a lot of detail in the feathers Mike, perhaps a higher f stop might have helped?
