Another "What do you think" shot I grabbed on the Thames yesterday.
A somewhat dour and damp day we were sat on a river boat upstream from Windsor when I spotted this Cormarnat preparing to take off.
I managed to bang off about 5 shots of which this was the culmination as it just lifted into the air. Even with ISO 400 I was only able to get 1/320th sec so very little of the bird is sharp and yet the image appealed to me as it gives a great sense of speed and urgency.
Does it work for you?
(As an aside, this stretch of the river was alive with Crested Grebe, I've never seen so many in one place)
