Hello Michel,
What a splendid in-flight shot - I like the beautiful balance of the wing shapes and wonderful colours. Great details too and the background pattern and colours blend in perfectly.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hi Michel.
What a great moment and scene you have pictured. Amazing pose of the bir and composition of the whole image. Perfect sharpness and details of the bird and excellent blurriness of the BG. You POV is simply unique and very interesting. Great photo luck and success. My compliments and TFS.

Wonderful capture at 1/500 speed, Michel.
The BG, as you rightly mention in your note, is quite natural by way of the bird's habitat.
TFS and bye.

Hi Michel,
Superb flight shot with great composition... The bird does blend in with the background but I find it only natural.
Thanks for sharing.

Salut Michel,
Tu es chanceux, je n'en ai pas encore vu ici dans ma région. C'est vraiment une prise pas facile à réaliser. J'aime beaucoup cette prise de vue et l'impression que l'oiseau va foncer sur nous :) Les détails sont assez bons mais j'aurais été curieuse de voir la même photo prise à une vitesse plus élevée. Les couleurs et l'éclairage sont superbes. Le background est naturel et dans mon optique, ça devrait toujours être comme ça sur TN :) C'est vraiment une superbe prise avec une très bonne composition. Merci,
Claudine

Hello Michel,
a beautyful action shot, I love the POV. Very well timed, lovely how this bird decends with the wings far apart. A nice composition, the sharpness, colors and details are wonderful.

Hi Michel,
Wow, I've seen plenty of Pine Grosbeaks on TN before but never on the wing. Quite an amazing POV to capture the body straight on and the full wing spread. Good exposure and detail and great diagonal framing. I know quite often there is luck involved with shots like this but that doesn't detract from the camera skill required to capture such a image. Excellent work!
Best regards,
Adrian

Hello Michel,
the capture of pose is just marvellous, coming with a perfectly fitting title. The pale transparent colours - low contrast and saturation - also look well fitting to me here. Very nice encounter, luckily well reported.
Thank you! BEst regards,
Peter

Hi Michel

A remarkable moment well captured of this ‘mope’. Actually, if it was a big eagle or a condor, you would have been well shaken because it sure looks as if this little guy is swooping in to catch you and carry you away.

Great action, excellent composition with the bird on the diagonal, lovely colours, and good exposure.

Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hello Michel,
This is a fantastic in-flight capture of Pine Grosbeak, the sharpness of the head and body helping to make it stand out from the BG. Excellent comp too. I agree that one should try to avoid the cloning tool.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan
