Love to watch our hawks float through the sky, swooping and drifting on the wind currents. My mind drifts with them.

This intriguing craft came heading past going upstream having just come under Walton Bridge . The engine sounded sweet and smooth but the superstructure seems it must be work in progress !!

This is a favourite spot for swans it seems , they were here in this spot when we came last week . Just a few yards along the area was the domain of a fair sized group of Egyptian Geese - and what a bad tempered lot they were hissing and booing at each other !!!

I reckon i've been a bit fetish about transport lately haha! Here's another form of transport as to my plane shot yesterday. I guess the owner of this boat was actually standing just diagonally opp me ... looking at me taking this shot. He must be thinking what a dickhead i'm ... another chinese tourist who never see a modern boat before ha! :P

The Shot

Standard 3 exposure shots (+2..0..-2 EV) taken handheld using Sigma DC HSM 10-20mm lens

Photomatix

- Tonemapped generated HDR using detail enhancer option

Photoshop

- Added 1 layer effect of 'curves' to increase the overall contrast

- Added 1 layer mask effect of 'saturation' (yellows) to slightly increase the tone of the sunset

- Added 1 layer mask effect of 'saturation' (blues) to slightly decrease the blueness of the sky

- Used 'unsharp mask' (as always) on the background layer
