The take off

[Dan Cattermole]

I know it's a rat with wings....... but I'm really impressed that I got this shot with an Olypmus 135mm manual.

Thanks for looking

Dan these take off shots are so difficult but you got one mate. The motion blur in the Skyrats wings and the shallow DOF together with the composition work for me. I've seen this sort of shot with crisp clean focus which is great for Magazine stuff but for artistic merit I like but would like to see a tad off the top, but only a tad,I keep finding that dark shadow in the top Right a slight distracting, don't ask me why it just is.. Great set of the floods BTW wish I had spent time down there today instead of ...........well won't go there....

Spot-on Dan. But I agree with Kev about a crop. I also think, and I hope you're seated, that a landscape crop would suit better and give a better impression of movement!
