Hi everyone, this is my first attempt at bird photography and I'm new to photography in general. I recently bought a Nikon J1 and took it down to the Thames in Windsor to play around with it - this is the best image from the day. The first image is as shot, 2nd is cropped and 3rd is a basic edit in Picasa and I would appreciate any feedback.

I also played around with the slow motion setting on the J1 and managed to catch one in flight. This is at 400fps and the original capture was just 5 seconds - quite tricky to keep the bird in frame, for a novice anyway, especially handheld.
