Good work to get the head sharp. I've never tried any thing like this but suspect it's pretty challenging! I think the 3 extra birds divert our attention from the nice effect you achieved on the primary subject.

[Colin Driscoll]

Very tricky shot and a pity the other birds weren't in the background. Maybe you got more frames?

[Jonathan Ashton]

Dorian I have to be honest - not difficult - point and shoot.

Colin, yes plenty more.

[William Dickson]

I like it.....The motion blur brings the image 'alive'.....Three good HA's and a nice flight pose....Well done Jon..

Hi Jon ... you did well for a grab shot .
The subject looks good with the blur and being sharp in the body .
I might push the subject a bit more to make it stand out even more , the overall tones can be pushed as well ... lots of space on RHS of the histogram

Nice one and TFS Andreas

[Kurt Bowman]

Nice motion blur Jon! I like the ethereal feel of it.
