The blurred wing is perfect ...
Wished he turned slightly towards you instead, Herman! :roll:

Hi Herman,
Excellent shutter speed choice has kept the bird nice and sharp with just the right amount of wing blur.
I like it.

Justin

My one nit has been mentioned on this one. The blur is great, just wish you could see more of the body with a turn.

I like the blur but the face looking awy takes a little away from the impact it would have had if it were turned towards you. Still a nice image to have.
