Hi Gabi
Excellent capture of this 'bird in flight'. I still don't know how you manage to capture this kind of shot from a tripod, but you obviously are rather successful as the photo is the evidence.
The composition and cropping is great and the colours are very nice. The DOF is excellent showing lovely details on the feathers and wings and the BG is great as it enhances the bird very well. The exposure was well balance as a little more would have burned out the wing in front and a little less would have lost the darker area of the body.
Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Gabi,
An excellent shot. Lovely detail and colour, exposure is perfect and I like the tight framing. I posted my first in-flight yesterday (thanks for your critique) and got the aperture selection wrong, I thought f9 would have been better and this confirms it to me. So thanks for that too :-)
Best regards,
Adrian

Bonjour Gabi!

Excellente prise en plein vol de cet oiseau, l'éclairage fait bien ressortir les détails du plumage et les couleurs sont parfaitements exposées.

Merci pour l'envoie.

Hi Gabi,
it's a very good inflight shot. The details and exposure are spot on. The shallow DOF works well here, brings out the swan well from the OOF BG.
Nice composition and good POV.
Very well done.

Hi Gabi,
Superb job with this. Graceful sweeping lines and form..Very well exposed, with excellent sharpness, detail, color, DOF, and well isolated from the distant OOF BG.
Very well done.

This is excellent, Gabi. Very well caught and masterly photographed. I would maby have painted out the tiny white speckle by the left wing. But great shot anyway.

A perfect balance of exposure displays well in this beautiful inflight capture of this mute swan, the details are incredible. The soft background really adds to the image too. Well done Gabi.
