very nice, I can't recall seeing a rook in-flight shot before. Well taken.

Hi Marek,

The colours on the wing are nice, but the thing that spoils the shot for me is that you caught the bird mid-blink with the nictating membrane covering it's eye. Not a lot you could do - it's just one of those things that happens :frown:.

Lovely detail in the feathers.
Agree with Nick's comments on the ye though.

Greetings,

Great shot, I agree about the eye, but not much you could do there. The detail and pose is great though, you've even captured some of that lovely irridescent shine they have.

Well caught!

Super capture despite the nits mentioned. Would give it just a bit more room in the frame though.
