Congratulations Pieter de Waal for your image "Sandgrouse" being selected as the Avain Image of the week ending 10/29/2010!!!

1. From my Kgalagadi Transfrontier Trip. I was trying to get a group of these in flight FF. The staggered flight pattern however made this dificult as some birds were OOF. I was able to crop this one to exclude the OOF and half birds and added some canvas on the left for composition.
NR on background about 80% of FF. Beanbag from vehicle.

50D/EF500f4+1.4/f8@1/2500/iso800/EC+0.33

C&C allways welcome.
