I love the way you have caught the bird taking off. It's a shame the far wing is so close to the beak, a bit more seperation would have been great. Still a cracking shot.

Not an easy one to get but that head is really sharp. Like the drops coming off the feet too :toast:

As Simon has said, not an easy shot, but you have captured it very well with some super detail.

Captures the moment well and the head turn and eye contact are excellent :toast:

Beautiful capture. Minor nit is the far wing - the extension is a bit distracting. :frown:

Still a shot I would be pleased to have taken. :toast:

Perfect timing immediately after takeoff but with feet still extended. Love the effect of the light on the bird's head. :smile: Cliff
