The Display

One from earlier in the year, Common Snipe displaying to his love interest. Taken in poor light so the quality is not my best, but it's something you don't see everyday so I'll take it.

1/100th @ f5.6 +1 iso800

Large version included

Thanks for the feedback on my last post ( which was a while ago ) and thanks for looking.

Andy... :smile:

Great shot Andy, nice rich, vibrant colours with truck loads of detail. :toast: As an alternative, try a 16 x 9 crop, starting with a base line at the pinnacle of the shadow above the 'A' and using the full width as per the OP, height in pro. Just a thought.

About your best yet in my opinion. Great stuff.

Andy just check your settings for sRGB and drop the cyan, evident in the stones.

The quality looks more than good enough to me, although I think Steve may be right about the cyans.

An opportunity like this is too good to pass up, go for it whatever the conditions!
