[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture and the former one 'Flying Below the Radar' are in the same place, this is the combine that I told you about.
In this picture I caught one heron flying near the huge combine, the heron is a little bit blured, but I think that it adds to the action shot.
This is the full-frame only resized, levels and sharpening, hope you will like it.

Great capture. THe first thing that comes to mind to me is, how on earth did you get to be there.

Il fallait savoir saisir ce moment très particulier, Elroyie.
La composition est excellente. Si l'oiseau est légèrement surexposé, cela n'enlève rien à la qualité très grande de cette prise de vue.
Très bien réalisé Elroyie.
It was necessary to know how to seize this very particular moment, Elroyie.
The composition is excellent. If the bird is slightly overexposed, it deprives nothing of the very big quality of this recording.
Very well realized Elroyie.

Good catched David! Also very well named scene. :-) I like this kind of different like a small birdy and a giant machine.
Well done.

Oopss...I hope it didn't crash land. It is a nice shot. A lot fo motion with that bird an dthe machine. Nice color contrasts.

Again a very good title to begin with, and quite a dramatic-looking scene you captured here, with the bird seemingly facing this overwhelmingly monstrous machinery. Good color setting and interesting effect from the falling grains of hay. Good shot, Elroyie.

A fine combination Elroyie. The heron or the machine by their own would have been boring but together - yes! I think you can crop a bit on the left, between the rim and the hay.

Indeed, there is action with that wheel a little blured and your composition is fine here. Well done, Elroyie!

Wonderful nature vs technology shot, Elroyie. Nice and sharply cropped and very dynamic due to the motion blur of yhe heron and dust particles. Great job!

That bird is so dwarfed by the machine. It seems like a giant, destructive monster, ripping up the grass and frightening the animals away. The crispness of the image and this fine detailed shot of just this one part of the machine really strongly adds to that mood. Very good.

Beutifully sharp image...great composition...I especially like the fragments of straw falling off the tractor as it rumbles along....

Well done David......
