Hi Stefan
Really cool action shot :)
Not easy to shot B&W birds in the middle of the day in shadow. As you can see you lost some details in both black and white areas. Only way to get good shot in this situations is use of flash. Try next time with flash and you are going to be surprised with result :)

Fab shot! They are busy. Great capture and good POV. You have very good detail and sharpness on the Storks. Good colour range and nice dof.

Hello Stefan,
This is a great action catch! It seems a little laborious :) I like this exposure and details; you used the appropriated shutter speed. You had nice POV and this was indeed taken at the right moment. Well seen! Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Stefan,

spring must be in the air eh?! Great shot, a little O/E on the wing but could easily be fixed with a bit of pp. Great sharpness and focus thugh you have captured a 'tender' moment!

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Stefan.
This shot is wonderful as your previous one. Pictured scene and moment are perfect as well as the technique of shooting of actions. Great lighting, details and sharpness of the main heroes and blurriness of the colourful BG. My compliments and TFS.
Alexei.

Very articulate action picture, Stefan.
The contrasts between black and white are beautiful here.
It is a wonderful composition too.

Hi Stefan,
Great action shot! A difficult exposure with the range of light, but you handled it very well. Nice sharp detail with excellent DOF. A tender moment captured, I think.
