Hi Peter.
Amazing close-up of bird in-flight. You have captured it at amazing pose. Wingspread are great as well as the timing. Exposure is spot on and sharpness of all parts of the model is great. Bravo. Well done.

Hello Peter,
Brilliant in-flight capture of this Black-tailed Godwit in a fine pose and calling. Very well-timed and the details of its underside are so clear due to the fine light. Beautiful colours too. Very well done!

Hi Peter,

How wonderful to get an in-flight shot with such expression on the bird's face! He looks angry and seems to be shouting at someone. Love it! Legs and wings are in wonderful positions. Excellent colors, details, and composition.

Hello Peter,

Excellent picture of this godwit. Good composition. Excellent POV and sharpness. The light is perhaps a little bit to strong. I would have reduced the gamma which would have helped to reinforce the colours. But that is only post-processing. The shot itself is excellent.
Cheers,
Mariki

Hi Peter,
A good flying action shot of this Godwit. I think the light is strong here and I am sure by little PP work it will be fine. But still then a lovely capture with good details and excellent timing. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hi Peter , a nice in-flight shot , good detail but a bit harsh on the lighting , I am a bit curious on the camera settings ? I can understand the ISO200 to boost speed a bit , but the f/11 seems to work against that.

well I have posted photo's with down right crazy F/#'s , I just noticed that and was a bit curious...

it's a good action shot anyways , TFS
regards

Hi Peter,

You could not ask for a more perfect time to press the shutter button. The open bill adds a very nice touch to this shot. In-flights are never easy, especially on birds that are not as common. You've done wonderfully here. Wonderfully done with excellent note. Great work. TFS.

Best Regards,
