I know this is somewhat of a Bosque cliché shot. I usually try to avoid posting shots like this but I couldn't resist for this weeks motif.


10D
600 IS
1/1000 sec, f/8.0 (underexposure brought back in conversion, :oops: )
ISO: 100 (Went to ISO 100 to get a slower shutter speed for wing blur...I think)

Sweet shot Chris. I wish the blade of grass weren't under its left wing but that is very minor.

Excellent shot, Chris! :lol:
I'd clone out the few 'in focus' grass blades at the bottom frame ...

I love the under wing feather detail. The grass is a minor distraction.

Great action shot. Excellent separation from the BG.

Perhaps cliché due to the many shots like this from Bosque but still perfectly executed.

Ditto E.J.s comment. I would clone out not only the blade of grass under the left wing, but also the ones right below his butt and left foot.

Hmm. So when I get to this time in my afternoon in the series, I shouldn't post one like this? :roll:

I like it. So it's been done a lot. That doesn't make it any less good. :D

So it's been done... I'd love to have some cliches this good in my files!
This is an awesome shot. I particularly like the blurred wingtips.
I agree on cloning the grass, but it's minor.

It may be cliché, but I would still like to get a shot like this some day. Well done.
