Not having done much photography this year I browsed shot's from last year to see if it would stir me back out.

This was from last March just before the fields were rolled ready for whatever crop was going in. I liked the way some of the colours in the bird are echoed in the background as well as the earth.

Canon 1D, Sigma 500mm EX, 1/160s, F4.5, car used as hide, full frame.

Nice image Chris (amazing quality still those EOS1D's) but my eye is drawn to the o.o.f foreground...i find it a bit distracting

You couldn't wish for a better colour co-ordinated setting. :cool: :toast:
