Nicely caught behaviour, but some of the whites are on there way over and I am picking up what could be a shadow/highlight halo...

you've lost the whites but the action more than makes up for it IMO. A nicely timed shot.

Hello Paul

Nice action but just a real shame the overall image is not sharp enough.

Hello Paul always difficult with predominately black & white birds and mixed with action sometimes a nightmare. Great action shot observed and caught. :toast:

Excellent action shot, but I feel that like nearly all of mine it is frustratingly close, but not quite sharp enough. I can see some halos as well, which suggests that you have had to work it quite hard to even get here.
It is in the nature of action shots that there isn't time to get everything how you would like it, so I would treat this as one of those shots which helps keep us all going back to try again! Oh! and I would never throw it away until I had a better one.
