Jon,

That's a very nice in-flight shot. It's not often that we see parrots in flight so thanks for the treat. I like the position of the wings in this shot. Very nicely done.

Regards,

Martin

Hello Jon, this is a very excellent posting of this flying cockatoo. This kind of shot, with these birds, backlit like this is not easy, yet you've pulled it off with excellent stopped motion on the bird and a perfect exposure and capture of his colour. The positioning of the bird in this crop is very good, and details throughout, in shadow and even in the highlight areas, are sharp and excellent. Very nice work on a most difficult subject.

Thanks, John

Hello John,
Nice in-flight of a Sulphur-crested Cockatoo. The sharpness and POV are excellent and the light management against a blue sky very good. I didn't know these guys were yellowish under the wings.
Thanks for sharing this fine image,
Regards, Ivan

Hi Jon,

Very nice in flight shot.
Seems like the Cockatoo is calling you while flying over looking at the partly opened beak.
You've done a very good job on composition and exposure.
Love the feather details and color contrast.
The way the bird does stand out against the steal blue sky is wonderful.
Very well done. TFS!!!

Have a nice day, Harry

Hi Jon,

Beautiful shot of the Cockatoo in flight. You froze this position perfectly. The colors are magnificent - I love the yellow of the wing. Excellent details of the entire bird. Shows off so well against the deep blue sky.

Hi Jon,
This is a wonderful in-flight shot, not an easy one to do! Details, exposure and composition are very good. I also like the catch light and contrast between the pale color of the bird and this deep blue sky! Thanks,
