Quite a good shot Steve, but I'd prefer to see it larger in the frame.
I know that can be a problem though, most of my bird shots are too small![]()
You caught the duck very well, and nice colours. But as Dave said, it doesn't fill much of the frame. At 420mm you must have been some distance from it I guess?
If you viewed it in a larger size , you wouldn't be saying that. I like the diagonal movement and background of this shot.
Hi Steve,
Possibly, but we're not
I like the diagonal blur too.
Here's what I had in mind;
Obviously it's going to be technically inferior due to the crop, expand, re-sharpen from a jpg, but it gives the idea. In the original, I just found the dark trunks on the right a little too 'attention grabbing', and the bird, which I'd like to see the detail of, too small.
Cheers,
Hi Steve,
Nice shot.Love the colours!
Jim
