I really liked the previous shot. This one is just as nice in its own way. The timing is great and the bird's position in the frame is just right.

Another wonderful flight shot!!

Good one, KK. The color and lighting really make this nice. I like the position of its wings.

I like the curves in this, and the background tones that go well with the bird's coloring. The wing blur works, as it helps imply motion, but the head seems a touch soft, which could very well be my eyes. Anyway, it's not even a big deal, this is a fine capture - well done!

Hi KK. I liked the last shot but I like this one even better. I like the wing blur here and the bird's overall position. Your images all have a very interesting monochromatic look that I like as it seems to draw more focus to the overall shapes of your images. Very distinctive.

KK,

I think this is a more powerful photo than the last one. I might add a touch more USM on the head. Love that tail.

KK,

Wonderful flight image. The blurred wings add to the sense of motion.

Enjoy viewing

I like it a lot - especially the tail and the upturned bill.

I really liked the last one and I like this one as well. A slightly different angle than before. You just keep impressing me with your flight shots....with the 10D. You have certainly got the timing down pat with that camera. Good shooting!!!

Superb flight capture of Greenshank. I like how you have managed to show tail and back detail, same time keeping the catchlight on eye. As said before, your flight shooting technique is excellent.

Hi KK< Very sweet, and yes--better. Now get me either a top-shot or one with the wings in the downstroke position!
Best, and keep up the great work, Artie
