Tomas:

I like the combination of pretty sharp head with motion blurred wings, strong sense of motion.

Nice composition as well.

Soft light and background as well.

Cheers

Lovely looking frame, love the blurred wings, which brings the image alive. Lovely detail on the bird and a nice BG. I would like to have seen less blur on the feet, but very nice as is.

Ditto all the pluses above. Was this made with focus active or by pre-focusing?

with love, artie

Thank you all. Active focus. Bird was hanging in the air for few seconds. I was able to find it in the viewer and shoot few frames. 2 were sharp and this is the best of them.

Really nice one Tomasz. Love the amount of blurring on the wings and the sharp head. I've tried to get a shot like this a couple times now with no luck so congrats and TFS
