    These are great birds and finally I could make a serie that I like.
    I made this with my new camera: a second hand canon 1D MK IIN.

    soon more of this bird and a Woodcock on: www.ltdphoto.com

    exif: iso 400, -0.3, F8, 1/1000

    Lesley I really like this, not easy, considering they are birds that skulk and I like the fact it is walking down hill.

    Wonderful alert pose and I like the action you captured in this image. Beautiful BG with great complimentary colors. A vertical might be a nice option for this image too. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi lesley,
    Cool bird, nice perch with the snow and all, and very nice walking pose. I would try to increase the midtone contrast in the bird a bit as it looks a bit flat on my monitor, also selectively increasing saturation of the iris would probably give a little more impact. Otherwise beautiful clean shot of this lovely bird.

    Another cool bird I've not seen before, Lesley. I too love the pose you took. Agree that slightly lightening the midtones and adding a bit of contrast would improve this image.

    thanks for your comments.

    what does:
    lightening the midtones
    mean, what happens when you do this?

    kind regards Lesley

    I like the light, details and striding pose. I wish for a lower angle and would give it a bit more space. It might also work as vertical crop.
