This is a great action shot of a bird – just the right amount of blur coupled with plenty of sharp area, including the all important head.

Oh wow! Coming from you Mr. Hooton…well that just puts a big ol’ smile on my face! Thanks so very much :)

I thought I had already commented on this one.. Anyway, this is THE bird shot for me, doesn’t get better than this. The hot pink on black, the movement, the water, its a freaking flamingo as well! Doesn’t get any better. It actually reminds me a little of those creatures in the Labyrinth that take their heads off! :) (That’s a good thing!! lol)
