Hi Howard

Lovely well timed shot, with nice background. That tele zoom lens of yours really came into it's own here.

Oh my great photo guru, one can only dream of such capture. But I feel a lot better knowing it was just beginer's stroke of luck... :)

Very beautiful shot. The combination of blurry background and the clarity of the bird give the picture perfect depth conditions. I could only say if the angle of the shot was a bit towards left, we could have had a better feeling of the moving wings. This way the left wing is almost invisible overlapping the body. Anyways, overall picture is absolutely stunning. TFS.
Best Regards,

Hi Howard,
Excellent capture! The exposure looks superb with the beautiful colors and nice detail. Having finally gotten a decent shot on the ones in my back yard, I am really ready to try and tackle some new shots on them in the coming year. It is amazing that at 1/1600 you still cannot freeze the wings. Excellent work!

Hi Howard!
You've got another one! Lovely capture, perfect in every inch. What I like most is blurred flower on BG - it adds something important to this composition. Of course bird is flawless.

Hi Howard, your shots are always so spectacular, I don't know how you make it to catch a flying bird with this sharpness.
Wonderful work, thanks
