Very nice Roger,interesting background. it's amazing how often birds seem to find a matching background!
Just seen the ISO - amazing. I guess you have hardly cropped it.

Thanks, Dave.

This was down by the river, the b/g is shallow water flowing over the gravel bed. It's quite shady there, under trees.

I've been using RAW+ of late & am beginning to get to grips with the processing in Elements 11 (RAW), & am quite pleased with this & those in the Your Photos Forum.

The K5 was set on TAV, 1/1000 & f8, in an attempt to freeze the action of the( v.busy!) bird & maximise dof to assist focus.
I think I should have reined back from 500, however!

This is about 75% of the original.

Thanks for looking & the interest shown.

Roger.
The more I look, the more there is to see!
