Last Attempt .. for a bit

This wattle bird is giving isbi, Norma and I a very dirty look, indeed. This is my last attempt (for now) at trying to catch a bird taking off. I have actually managed to bag several nominally successful images this week ... but none of them approach what I might describe as minimum commercial quality. I have rarely spent so much time trying to do something new in photography ... but I am determined to improve. Watch this space.
