Shot this guy as they were coming in and feeding their chicks. Difficult to both catch and expose for. C&C greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Very nicely caught and exposed! Great sharpness for a fast-moving bird. I guess they were were slowing down a bit on final approach to the nest holes. I'd like to see a bit more room bottom and right.

Wonderful image here of this small guy
the bird looking down makes it special for me
the slight blur wing tips work for me here giving a wonderful feel of motion to this image
nice one

Nice flight shot of a fast mooving small bird, Lyle.

Lyle,

You nailed the focus on the face, which I can only imagine is tough to do on a bird that flies this fast!

I'm going to agree with Richard and suggest more room all around.

Lovely shot of this difficult to capture bird! Crisp face and eye work well with the blurred wingtips for sense of motion. I agree with the suggestion of more room to the bottom though!
