One for Mr Munsey,Taken today at the Jura,Lots of these guys skimming over the mountains so spent 30 mins getting some of the best blue sky with nothing else shots,Managed 3 sharp shots but fairly small in frame so heavy crop,Still amazed at detail under wings and a good dose of neat image for the sky,Keeping with the negative space theme cant help myself

Well done Mr Courtenay, but as a colleague pointed out the challenge is to get one with the feeling of motion i.e. a motion blurred background with super sharp birdie. Now you seem to be living a life of luxury wondering the hills with goats so I'm looking forward to viewing your masterpiece this time tomorrow

.
Great shot.

Oh man this is awesome Dave

I've been wanting to see/shoot these guys since last summer. I might just have to come out west and give it a try

Hi Dave

I like the composition, keep at it and maybe you will get a frame filler (you can always clone in more sky afterwards

)

cheers

Hi Dave
Well done, a very difficult bird to get when in flight.

I would clone out that blurry BG
