Hi Gert. I love the light, the BG and the motion in this shot - the wings are almost but not quite frozen, giving detail and sharpness and still the sense of speed. The light and colours are beautiful. TFS :)

Hi Gert I have ben unable to confirm your ident unfortunatly, but what ever it is it is very well seen, it shows well how indipendant the wings are in movement. All the blurr seems to be motion not lack of focus .TFS and hope it realy is this rarity .

Hi Gert, very nice in-flight capture. I do not even dream to catch them in-flight. You're doing it very well.
Great work.

Hello Gert, nice shot. I think you are right about the ID, although it's hard to tell from this angle. We don't that species here in UK, we have a similar one but it is very rare and confined mostly to Scotland.

Nice in-flight action. Very well done.

Now I have just seen your WS, I think you are correct. Are these rare in your area?

Well, Gert, this is a wonderful shot, despite it's imperfections. It shows how observation, patience and a bit of luck are the essentials in photography. You prove it so well here, with a rare image, much on the artistic side. Superb grey shades and metallic light on the wings. Congratulations my friend!

Not surprised at looking at your other works. You are an artist at capturing unique moments and macro shots. This one's an amazing capture in flight. Not an easy task at all. Well done!

Great this shot is very complicated to effect,
good also the composition in diagonal that from dynamism to the photo and the light moved wings that it completes the feeling of movement, very good
