Hi Click.
Thanks you for your kind comment, I was extremely pleased with the results bearing in mind the 9 (+6 helper) AF points of the original 5D, this was the first time I tried BIF with it, I would normally have used my 7DII, but I had just been doing some landscape shots and then someone threw some food for a swan, I don't know where all the gulls were, but the first gull saw the food and shouted and bam there they all were! The food doesn't last long in those conditions so I just went with the 5D as the 7DII was 100 yards away in the bag in the van.

Cheers, Graham.

Hi Folks.
Lots of great shots, makes me wonder about posting mine, but I think I'm improving and would like to know what you folks think please.
Stopped in Mayflower park Southampton on the way home and caught a some shots, thought I'd share a few. Quite heavy crops with the 5D and 70-200 f2.8 L II.
Can I get some feedback on my PP please, have I overdone the sharpening?
Yes I have just noticed that I seem to have a couple of dust spots, didn't notice them on my laptop screen, I will clean the sensor before I use it next.

A nice set of shots Graham!
PP: On the last one there is a very visible white halo between the dark of the wings and the blue sky. Its not as visible (it it is there) on the other shots probably because its white wing to blue sky anyway. I had to look for it though.
Cheers Brian

Hi Brian.
Thanks for the feedback, I have had this pointed out on the bird portrait post I made too, I am going to have another go at the pp with less sharpening to see if I can get the detail without the halo and other artifacts that I have had pointed out to me. Hopefully I will be able to learn from the input I have received from you and others.

Cheers, Graham.
