I've taken my new 100-400L for some morning walks. Unfortunately I've been too early for the light to enable bird photos, but I did catch these shots of the morning mist over the Loddon floodplain. I'm a little unsure which I prefer - I like the stronger focus on the shadows of the tree in the first one, the presence of the line of birds in the second and the foreground texture in the third. I also wonder if I could have got more out of the processing. Suggestions most welcome.
