    This is one from yesterday morning when we had a wee bit sunshine, at Loch Leven.

    Thanks for looking

    The downward wing stroke looks good, and the goose nice and sharp. Good sunshine too, you must have been happy with that. I do wish the angle was not as steep, and I would apply a judiscious round of NR to the full far wing and near wing's primaries.

    William;

    Agree with Daniel. The downstroke pose is good, slight angle in frame, soft clouds to provide some depth in bg.

    For me, the head and neck could use a bit more sharpening.

    Cheers

    Hi Will, glad to hear you got that window of opportunity with the light and managed to get some snaps. Just looking at the wings, was the Exposure good, or did you have to lift things a bit, as 1600 isn't much for the 5D and there does appear to be a bit of noise creeping in on that far wing? Hope the light improves in the coming days/weeks, as a friend of mine has got a wallop of snow in Kinross.

    Comments above noted. I think increasing the sharpening as is will make the noise unacceptable.
