This was one of my very first shots with my new and very expensive 100-400mm canon lens
comments please

Hi

The following comments are not to criticise, ony to give you my opinion

I think overall the subject is ok, however you highlights are blown out in the sky and river, and your shadows are very muddy and grey looking.
Shooting into the light is very difficult to pull off, try next time a earlier or later time of day, maybe a use an Neutral density filter to equalise your sky and shadows, or why not take several shots exposing for the sun,shadows then combine both.
hope this is not too severe

Hi Everyone
Just found this forum while uploading a photo to a competition
and thought I'd join

I have been taking photo's for a few years now, I currently use a canon 7D along with a sigma 10-20mm, canon 100mm macro, canon 24-105mm and a canon 100-400mm lens
also got a few hitch filters a manfrotto tripod and manfrotto monopod.
My passion is really all things nature, ie plants, animals, insects and landscapes
I will upload a few of my shots soon
any questions you would like to ask me about my kit or anything else fro that matter, please get in touch, it good to talk as they say
best regards
from a cold and wet South Scotland
Duncan :)
