Hello,

Here's one from a few weeks ago at my local nature reserve.

Techs:
Nikon D200, 500mm f4 lens
1/125sec @f8 200ISO

No crop

Just upgraded to the D300s, only got it yesterday, can't wait to try it out!

C and C most welcome!

Hi Dawn,

Lovely and well composed image with nice warm colours. Minor nit for me is the bright reed stern wich is covering the tale. I find it a bit distracting.
I hope you wil enjoy your new D300s. It's a great camera. :wavey:

Like it in its setting, the hinting of the environment is great... only minor thing for me is that the catchlight looks a touch central?

I like the autumnal colours on this. I'll bet you do an even better job with the new camera :wink:

It's always great to see a bird in its natural setting like this and I like the nice muted tones.

Love it! I agree about the green stem, but you could remove it if you wished.
