Daniel.

You've captured a wonderful flight image. The bird is centered in the frame. If you'd take some space away from behind him and put more in front the image would be better overall.

Jim
Enjoy viewing

Daniel,

This is a great flight shot. I would do Jim's reccomended crop. Love the smooth BG. Great photo.

This is one of your best flight shots of small shorebirds, Daniel! :lol: :lol: :lol:
I particularly like the wings position showing its characteristic black armpit for the species ...

Pretty cool shot as is. Cropping it a bit might make it slightly better.

Well done getting not only a very nice flight shot, but one that shows the field markings so clearly.

I I think the cropping suggestion will make this wonderful flight shot even better.

:shock: Wow! Except for cropping a bit from behind the bird, this is wonderful! :)
