    Great timing, great action, wonderful background, and very crisp where it counts. Well done and a magical capture. I am slightly surprised that the tips of the wings are blurred at 1/3200 sec. Well, it's not a problem -- it adds to the sense of motion.

    Best regards,
    Dennis

    Absolutely superb and very little noise either. The moment and the mud in the bill along with the little catchlight really make this special. The only suggestion I would make would be to remove the tiny catchlight lower eye....... did you use flash?
