House martins

Hand held Canon 1DX Canon 100-400L IS 11, Auto ISO 320 1/1250sec f5.6
After photographing kittiwakes in flight I tried my hand at house martins. Nailing them wasn't quite as difficult as first imagined... but then it was! The main problem was getting them big enough in the frame. I have to admit I got through a couple of gig before I got this one.

Very nice! A little more off the top makes them even bigger. You should have the IQ with that rig.

It appears the focus missed both birds. At least that is how it seems. There is a row of stones that seem sharp though.
This is a tough shot to get for sure.

Here is a repost, slightly bigger crop and I adjusted the sharpening, not perfect but perhaps a little better, I suspect a faster shutter speed would have been better.
