Well despite the rather boring background I like the shot I got here - even in the birght sunlight - though I also had to do a curves edit to get more of the eye showing (an preset curves setting I don't know enough yet to control the sliders manually)
Taken with canon 400D and sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG macro and tripod
At:f16, ISO 200, 1/100sec

Though I was at f16 which is rather low for such a shot (I was doing macro flowers and forgot to change it) I think it has worked well in this case as the bird was not that far away from me. The only big problem that I can see is the nettle in the background - even a wider aperture would not have blured this out enough I think
anyone else got any thoughts?
