On the second day of our workshop, we worked on songbirds in flight. Here's one from this morning.

[Sid Garige]

Fantastic image Alan. Great wing spread and excellent details.

[Doug Brown]

Sharp where it needs to be and a spectacular pose. You even got the beak open!

[Lloyd Spitalnik]

Fantastic Alan. I'm sure you're proud of this one.

[Chris Kotze]

Super flight angle well captured and exposed. Lovely colours and BG

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Fantastic pose and detail. The bird is very sharp ESP the eye and love the BG.

[Tom Rambaut]

lovley. Wow, that difference between the red and black in the wing is quite something.

[Herb Houghton]

Great shot Alan, nice wing spread and nice bokeh.

Alan:

Dynamic pose,sharp where needed.

What also impresses is the exposure, so easy to blow out the epaulets red channel, yet you got enough exposure to show details in the blacks.

Cheers

Randy

[Chad Caswell]

Nice pose and wing spread, nice job!

Curious, did you use a flash?

[Stu Bowie]

Incredible flight posture, and good job on the blacks.

[Bill Dix]

Amazing shot, Alan. Wonderful detail in the blacks; wing spread; open beak; background; head angle. It's all here. Thanks for sharing.

[RakeshDhareshwar]

Brilliant details , great exposure ...Love that pose too !!

[Alan Murphy]

Nice pose and wing spread, nice job!

Curious, did you use a flash?

Hey Chad,

No flash.

Thanks.

[Ajay Panjwani]

Amazing capture Alan. All said in above posts. Not to overlook the slight barring is also visible on the back of the bird, to complete the birds profile that too in flight.

[Jeroen Stel]

Stunning pose, colors and detail!
Love it!

greetings,

Jeroen Stel

[Giulio Zanni]

Fantastic as usual, I guess these ones are also quite fast...

[Kiran Poonacha]

Great piece of Art Alan Bhai, loved it..

[Enrique Patino]

Very nice indeed. I went out this morning to photograph this species, but found out that it is harder to correctly expose the red color than the black (at least for me). Perhaps because I under-exposed the frames just a tad- :e3
thanks for sharing!
