Rudi, nice action with those droplets, BG, exposure and the composition. The bird has come out quite soft. The SS is quite high so am thinking its probably an AF issue.

Hi Rudi, well timed for the exit, and I like the flying droplets. The focus looks like its on the tail. ( not your usual standard Ive seen on the other site:w3 )

[Jonathan Ashton]

Sooo near perfect - just lacks that little bit of sharpness.

Great BG and light... but the IQ & focus is just not there mate... TFS Rudi
