took this image this morning,before the heavy showers arrived,bit sick about not getting the feet,but you win some you lose some,cannon7d,400mm cannon prime lens,tripod,f/7.1,1/1600s,iso400,crop,touch of satand sharpening,ps raw.comments good or bad.thanks.
Very nice IQ and textures, feet are not a deal breaker for me (but would be nice to see them in a perfect world). I would like to see a portrait crop to get away from the square crop. Nice looking image!
I like the sharpness and the full and depth of the colors. What Dumay say about the portret crop sounds good too me also! There is one point more in this picture a small one but still,there is a small sharpening line under the beak. Thanks for sharing
I was going to comment that I actually like the square composition in this case! I too would like to see the feet (or at least part of them), but still like it as is. Perfect look-back HA.
I like the unusually attractive light on the wheatear. The lack of feet are also not a deal-breaker for me, but I'd like to see them just the same. Why were you "sick" about not getting the feet? Did you miss some opportunity to get the feet? I tend to save my anguish for the chances I blow, rather than spending it on opportunities that never arose.
Thankyou everybody for your comments,Karl,the lens I use,or should I say what I can aford at the moment,is a cannon EF 400MM F/5.6 L USM,Craig,its just saying I use if I have missed something that would have made the image better,and I cannot do anything about it.thanks again everybody for comments.
