Now that is a well caught in-flight shot. May not suit some afficianados of 'more space' but none can deny it's a technically excellent image.

My (very minor) nit is that I would like a little more space on the left for the bird to fly into (yes, Robert, you were right!). That aside, this is a fabulous flight shot.

That is a lovely shot, and would be intersested to see more exif data.

Re the space, more to fly into and below would do it for me.............

I agree about some more space to fly into, but other than that an excellent flight shot and a great exposure. Very well done. :smile:
