Flaps Down

[Barbara]

Not the best image of my week but the one I am most pleased with

iso 500  f11  1/640 @270mm

 

Sat downstairs in the new Peter Scott Hide at Wildlife & Wetlands Trust at Caerlaverock, feeding time is at 11 & 2 oclock, the 2 o'clock feed had just started. Was hoping to catch some birds flying in  but when the did they flew from behind the building and were down before i knew it. I did manage this one, Was quite under exposed though I have managed to lift the  the swan a bit with LR 

 

Here are a couple more

#3 grabs my attention Barbara. I'm sat here trying to make a frame with my fingers wondering if a really tight crop would work to make use of the repeated pattern.

Did try a tighter crop Martyn but wasn't comfortable with it

That first pic is a real prize winner in my book.......it just shows how close, modern planes have become to nature.

i love no 1 for the expression on the birds face, its almost saying look out below ! 

no 3 i love the symmetry of the three heads together

 This incredible image of the swan shows the classic curving approach for landing, love the way his Primary feathers are deployed, along with those webbed feet acting like airbrakes The look on his face tells me he has everything under control.

Fantastic picture !

Lovely set, Blackrox, I thought of a plane coming in to land when I looked at the first one too - good capture!! Like the symmetry in the 3rd, and the general view I the last is very nice

#1 and #3 are absolute winners in my book, for different reasons.
