This is my first posting so I'm trying it out and hope it works! Taken at Slimbridge Wetlands Centre in the UK last December as the winter sun was setting.
Big Warm Welcome Helen !!!!!! Great first post or any other !!!
I like the wind position very much, hanging feet also enhance the image. Would rather if you had taken a couple of seconds earlier before the bird got past your position. Exposure looks good might have given a little more light for the under wings. With birds goind overhead you are exposing the shadow side of the bird.
I'm sure someone will suggest a little extra sharpening on the head but would be just minor. Oh sharpening wise with these good bg its better to select the bird only and sharpen, keeps the noise in the bg down !!! Excellent and looking forward to more !!!!
