Hello Philip,

This is a great flying bird-shot. The details on the bird are very sharp and the composition is great. The bird itself is well exposed also but I find the whites in the BG rather distracting. Anyway, well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

Dramatic and simply nice. Would have liked some more detail in the face area, but otherwise good sharp detail. I like the background too.

This is an excellent photo, Philip. The details of the bird is wonderful. I like the BG and composition as well. (I noticed that you took this photo on my birthday!)

Another grea flight, another great photo.

Sharpness is excellent, as well as dof and pov.

Maybe I would feel tempted to clone the brilliant area on top left, but that's just an opinion.

Very striking capture, Philip. The light on the underside is very impressive. Lovely composition. The bright spot is a bit distracting but I still like it a lot.

Would a polarizing filter have done anything for it? I am considering to get one.

Hi Philip, very nice capture. Very good light on and under the chough. Red legs have incredible detailed. Focus, especially on the head is a bit soft IMO, but it is not an easy capture.
Well done.

Great exposure and detail under the wings Philip.
Nicely positioned in the frame, the background is a little distracting, but a fine shot all the same.

Like Pieter and Livio, I think the OE background is very distracting from an otherwise excellent shot of the chough. I have done a workshop to show what a bit patience beforehand might have achieved. Hope you don't mind.
You did quite well to get these guys in flight.

Excellent capture of this Alpine Chough Philip. Great composition, exposure, details and framing. I like the fact that your BG fits this magnificent creatures name, with the snow of the alps visible, Well done!

Hi Philip, another excellent shot of yours. I like the DOF on this shot, nice details and clarity. How did you take this shot? did you fly next to it? Is the bg the ground? Excellent captured. TFS

Hi Philip
Seems to me you were away and getting very nice shots! Know this one, but have not seen it yet! The exposure is great on the wing, especially if one considers the BG light. Nice POV too. TFS
