Tried a low shutter speed shot,panning,it was a bad light day,this is the results,all comments welcomed,good or bad,thanks.cannon 40d,400mm prime lens,hand held,1/200sec,f5.6,iso800,river calder lancashire uk.
I think it is a tad noisy, and while the idea seems really good, maybe the head is still a bit too soft and there are some halos around it perhaps from the sharpnening. Love those droplets of water, and the blurred wings! :)
I love the bird and the degree of wing blur. The BKGR leaves a lot to be desired. It might have worked much better at 1/30 sec.
As presented, selectively darkening the pupil with a Quick Mask would increase the apparent sharpness.
