Rough-legged Buzzerd

[Lesley van Loo]

its a pitty that he didn't turn its head so that the bill showed.

iso 500, F6.3, 1/8000, -0.7, made in Raw and there changed it to -2.0

I didn't had time to lower the iso and tighten the F (?), could make to shots with this settings and then it flew away.

I really like the branches, they fill the picture and give it an art-like view.

I wonder if you like it or not.

I like it a lot, and I agree that being able to see the beak would improve the image. I like the branches in the dark areas of the photo and am reposting a version where they are more visible. How do you like it?

[Lesley van Loo]

difficult to say, both pictures have there own mood.

kind regards Lesley

Great mood and idea. I agree that it would have been great to see the beak and I might clone out the branches crossing the bird's head.

[Arthur Morris]

Can't figure put which is better, the re-post or the self-critique.... IAC, you did all that you could.

[Lesley van Loo]

thanks for your comments.

@ Axel:
and I might clone out the branches crossing the bird's head this is ofcourse a great idea and I didn't see it untill you mentioned.
