Close Up ...

Hi All,

This is my first Close encounter with a bird.. Hope the members like it.


The F number is high becuase i was trying get a stone plover shot which was on a rock under direct sunlight and i suddenly spotted the River Tern wich was just beside me.. did not have the time to change the setting and hence had to shot with what i had..

A nice image. I would reduce the highlights on the neck.
Thanks for sharing.

This is too close, lovely image. Agree with Bibhav of reducing the highlights on the neck region

Nice. I would tone down the highlights a bit.

Cheers,
