An excellent catch. I like the wing position and the head turn. Good detail and background. I have the same camera setup as you and I know how difficult it is to get an image like this. Good job.

Excellent capture, Jim. I have yet to get an in flight of our bluebirds. They are so quick, and small too, that it is really hard to capture. Nice job. I too like the wing position and the head turn.

Super capture. The wing position is superb and the cricket in the beak and extra added bonus. I love the way you caught the light coming through the wings.

Excellent flight shot, Jim. A really dynamic wing position. Our Western Bluebirds are at the cricket stage with their offspring now as well.

An excellent catch, all things considered.

Excellent flight shot. The head turn and wing position gives a dynamic feel to the shot. The cricket is a nice bonus.
