Honest critique welcomed!

Super action shot Mark. Very, very crisp with great background. One of the best actions shots I've seen this year. Congratulations!

Jose

PS. Might want to think about submitting this to Nature's Best for their yearly contest :).

Nailed the action nicely, and really pretty clean for ISO 800 and crop. Different and unique :toast:

Hi Mark,

This is just incredible. As you say, the perch may not be perfect, but everything else in this shot sure is. Congratulations :)
