Hi Tom

Another excellent image, the motion blur in the wings is a great effect but keeping the head/eye sharp. Only comment is maybe crop a bit from the left to de-centralise the bird.

Nice work :toast:

cheers

Another excellent gouse image Tom, I like the sense of movement created coupled with the sharp head against that almost mono bg. Its not a pano though :biggrin:
