Thanks Doug,I am sure my son will appreciate your feed back,He was using the Canon G 12,not sure what mode it was on,he mentioned something about a 'brightness' setting.He adjusted the levels a little tiny bit and a bit of a crop.Personal,I prefer the image the way he photographed as seen here,and so does he.
Thanks all other comments,Yes H,I do agree with what you say,I have seen what you say apply to other hobbies too.-Show someone how to shoot bunnies with a .22,they turn around and say to you their off to Africa with a 7 mm magnum to shoot Kudu.There is a fair bit of as learning curve in between.
The photographers in this comp that had the gear were certainly no fools,one was a high end photo journolist,that has made a living from photograph,and others in a similar league too.
One chap had an outstanding image of an Osprey (sea eagle) in flight with fish,with late arvo sun on it as it flew towards photographer-stunning capture.
What I am trying to say is the achievement here I manly made was,That in the 'final cut' all 4 of my nature images were on the table along side the Osprey photo,The judges had to decide 1st and 2nd out of these 5,there was no third or HC.So,I really had to stretch a little bit further out of my comfort zone.And thanks to members such as yourself and many others here
who have helped with advice and pointers,I achieved this result-as well as a lot of hard work.
Cheers Chris
