My own small offering, on my walk back up the pier this afternoon, I walked right past it before I realised it was there, it was amazingly patient, it even waited while I got my tripod out and mounted the camera on it because I couldn't hold the camera still enough! LOL I must have taken 10 shots because the AF was getting confused by the foreground and the background. I have no idea what it is. D3, Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8 AF ![]() A 100% crop. I missed a pair of Curlews which flew very close by. In passing, I am sure I saw a Seal swimming up the estuary as the tide reached it's fullest but it was some way away and would have needed a very powerful lens just to catch a glimpse of a very shiny black head which was only visible for fleeting glimpses.

Jeff can not fault your quality, that D7200 is producing super images every time now!

Top one looks great but I think the lower one looks like you need to feather the selected owl or use a different blend mode for the background. Just my opinion. Graham or Eric are the ones to ask. They are the experts.

very much on a learning curve with this Jonathon , the bottom one had to be totally black ,the main reason I have started doing this is in the owl place your shooting at low flying brown birds against a brown sea marsh i.e brown on brown and also shooting into the light or low winter sun due to when they come out to play , so a lot of good sharp images have had to be abandoned due to lack of contrast . this is simply a way in my books to save them . I don't learn from books or u.tube or advice but by playing around and finding what I like , and my chief critic SWMBO then stands behind me and says its either good or not . ![]()
