Awarded Superior Skill. The head of the bird is so clearly focused, yet the wings in flight give the photo so much movement. Excellent!

Thanks so much! I appreciate your peer awards and comments! I love playing with slow shutter speeds to catch motion blur. Handheld

I really like this shot. As said below, great motion blur

Thanks for your comment and peer award! I appreciate it! I love trying to capture motion blur hand held! Hope you vote for it in the two wings contest

Right on the money. Excellent capture, for a hand held shot?

Thanks! Yes, hand held. I can't figure out how people use tripods with fast moving subjects! I'm too antsy for that! Want to get on to the next shot!

great action

Thanks! It's fun to try to let the subject create part of the picture with action! I appreciate you taking the time to browse my gallery, leave peer awards and comments!

I don't use a tripod for this type of photography either. Fantastic work!

Thanks! It was a lot of FUN! I don't think that I could get these shots if I tried using a tripod! The action is way too quick and I am lucky to be able to follow at all! LOL Thanks for sharing your feedback on hand holding for these images too!
