Just a shaft of weak sunlightcaught this bird in my puddle today I thought it made the bird stand out against the Bg in a nice way.
Had 13 species today so thingsare looking up.Our swallows are back so Summers here - I think !!

Thanks for looking and comments on my previous shot Cheers

Beautiful light, great head turn, and the setting you captured really shows your "puddle" to its best advantage. Extremely sharp, almost but not quite to the point of crunchiness. Do your settings include any in-camera sharpening?
HI Bill
Thanks- Ive kept it exactly the same since the Pied Fly shot- Which is-
A setting
White balance Sunlight ( even when in the shade it seems to work best and I,ve had no complaints about colour casts !!)
EV -down - 0.7
Metereing centre weighted- average
Focus single centre spot.
Picture Control-Standard
Contrast- down 1 bar
Sharpen- third bar from left
Brightness- Normal
Saturation-normal
Hue -normal
Colour Space- sRGB
Active Lighting - Normal
Image Quality -fine/medium
I belive the sharpening on the centre bar means normal
Hope that helps ! I shant change it for a while except except speed or ISO maybe.
