Liezel,

Excellent capture. These types of photos are my favorites and I can surly appreciate the skill required to capture one of those birds in flight. Results can be hard to come by but it is surly rewarding when something decent comes out in the wash. You've done a very good job presenting this bird in flight. If there is one thing I could suggest as part of my critique is to brighten this image up a bit. Take a look at the workshop. I've made a simple change - hope you don't mind. Other than that, its a superb in-flight. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Martin

Hi Liezel

Excellent in-flight capture of this mother bringing home the grub
Excellent sharpness and plumage detail
Excellent composition and a great OOF background
There is a bit of noise in the background which is easy to fix with NeatImage, which is basically free download. I put the result in teh workshop.

Hi Liezel,
This is an amazing capture.I just love every element of this composition.
I liek the bird in flight carrying its food , perhaps for its babies. The features are well highlighted with excellent sharpness and colours.
The little blur on the wings on the other end gives a sense of motion for the bird.The shot is tack sharp with a lovely muted BG.

There is a bit of a noise, i guess you had a problem with the light.But that doesnt mar the beauty of this shot that is very delightful to look at.I have tried a WS and hope you like it.
TFS & Cheers
