Thanks Ron,Brian and David.
Yes David,the images have certainly been through CS5, and I certainly fiddled with it-with many tools-'blacks' and 'temperature'-I had to 'warm' it up a bit,and adjusted the vibrant adjuster,I then adjusted curves,I usually do another adjust in layers-but it was going to work in these images,because of blown light.after all that I went into filters and adjusteed sharpness (maybe too much).
The image look 'cold' without any thing done to it.The specs-ISO 320,speed 1/800 AV 7.1,(image 1226 -the first one-which is -I think the better one),I continually adjusted settings,as moving to target,and had time to review and think about adjustments-the sky/brightness kept changing.I'll try and post some images-straight out of camera.I think the chap in ute took some photos of me taking hawk photos (hope so-might be interesting to see how close I got),so will load up it they are on his card.
The 50D was used with Canon 400L,I find the 50D certainly helps after using a 450D-but I did find there was a learning curve-and so too there would be going from a 400D to 7D.If I can make the jump up to a 7D from a 50D should be less of a learning cure,but unsure if there would be much of an 'up' in these type of bird images.
hope this helps
