Looks a great flight shot to me agree with Alan the opposing wing positions adds a factor. I too really struggle with flights so when you get a good one it stands out.

Many thanks, but for me it is always a bit hit and miss, I am never too sure what I'm about, and the results are frequently more good luck than good judgement!
I think the contrast between those red beaks and legs against that dark, moody sky is superb, as are the different wing positions.
Not quite sure if the bird's heads are critically sharp though as it looks as though the auto focus may have focussed on the wings or body.
Hello Kim,
I love the pose of the birds on this and , unusually for me, I quite like the square crop as well. I have to agree with Justin though in that it doesn't look tack sharp on this monitor.

Thanks guys - you know at my stage in flight shots - until my technique improves I am lucky to focus on anything!! They take me by surprise and I end up chasing them trying to get a front side view - not the back end as they disappear into the blue!

I like the opposing wing positions of the two birds!!
