a wonderful stop action Grace with this bird captured in full flight with sharp focus thanks to a very high shutter speed;

Saweeet! I think it's great that he wouldn't pose or you'd have missed the jump. Great stop action freezing this guy with great focus. Your dof is perfect to create a nice soft background. Really nice. Thanks for sharing.

Well Grace you captured it anyway in a beautiful action shot with perfect clarity and amazing detail. I love the title and the view of this bird.
Uniquely different but a fantastic shot as they all are so fast. Wonderfully executed.

This is an awesome take. The most excellent stop action I have seen in some time.

Exposure computations are perfect.

I see high detail in the head and eye. All of the seen feathers are sharp and motionless.

Color is natural hues of this little bird.

Great visual impact combined with an interesting subject - doesn't get any better than this.

Thanks for sharing this fine piece of photography ... B-)) Bob

What a beautiful bird in flight. Amazing how even though he did not want to stay that you were able to capture him with great detail and not a bit out of focus! Wonderful job on this. Thank you for sharing!!

What a great capture. He looks suspended in the air. Love the lighting and framing. The soft background really enhances the sharpness and clarity in the bird.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


We didn't expect this cute avian creature to be this unglamorous upon taking off!
But of course they regain their graceful self when in full flight flapping their wings rhythmically.

Sharply focused.
Fine body features & smooth textures.
She still managed to stand out despite the monochromatic backdrop!

Thanks for sharing...

What a great portrait of the bird in flight. Your techniques are superb and give the portrait a three dimensional effect. I like the dappled light and the twiggy backdrop.

Ahh what a great shot. Lucky that the background is not too busy in this shot for this to work well. Love his little feet in this composition. Good DOF, detail and colours.

Wow! What a timing! This is a lovely shot of the bird taking off!! You have framed it well. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!
