Pin Tail Wydah #3 For Fabs

[Stu Bowie]

Since I promised Fabs another image of this species - here it is. Surprisingly, I have posted a few images of this species since January. All captured on the same morning. It was overcast, and the only difference is the BG, where I may have walked to a slightly different area, as this has a few grassland flowers. Some of the FG, OOF flowers may distract.

This is awesome Stuart. Love the action and beautiful flight pose as well as a very beautiful composition. Excellent exposure and the slightly blurred wings really gives the feeling of motion. Love this one Stuart !!

[arash_hazeghi]

another excellent one Stuart, well done!

[Colin Knight]

Well done! Just wish it was sharper around the eye. Most of the OOF flowers work for me. All in all, I like the crop very much.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the angle, setting, soft light and most of the BG. I would be tempted to make the BG in the upper right look like the rest.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Super detail and BG...I think the flowers in front balance the comp nicely.

[Fabs Forns]

Wonderful birthday gift for me!!!!
And you know what, the flowers really add to this, IMO.
Great whites and wings in movement, thanks very much for making my day :)

[Steve Canuel]

Very nice Stuart. I like the angle of the bird and position of the bird and the flowers at the bottom provide a nice, colorful anchor.

[Morkel Erasmus]

your best of the species for me - those Rietvlei flowers really add a lot mate...

[Doug Brown]

The inclusion of the flowers really improves the series IMO Stuart! If you don't have a problem altering the BG in PS, I agree with Axel's suggestion.

[Harshad Barve]
