    Default Northern Jacana in flight

    Hi Pixers

    I am working on a serie of birds in flight, releazing banded bird, so it's a good opportunity to develop special tools to take some atipic pictures. I would love to receive your comments to improve the pictures.
    this one was taking with 1MDIV, 300 2.8 and 1,4 conv. tripod, 8000 speed, with 7,1 diaf ISO 800 Any idea to improve. Picture prepared by Lorant Voros (thanks)

    Nice position, great view of the feet and eye. Sensor spots in front of the bird need removed.

    A truly stunning flight image but for the dust spot. I would suggest taking 1/3 to 1/2 off the bottom for better compositional balance. if we run our contest this year this would make a great entry.... The processing on the underwings might be a tad over-done.

    Terrific action captured. Love the light, the background and the pose. I would consider taking a little canvas off of the top and left to tighten it up just a little. If this were mine, I would be entering it into contests. I imagine this type of action wasn't easy to capture.

    Note taken on the forgotten dust spot and the cropping suggestions. :). Manuel. This is a truly stunning action photo. Hats off.

    WOW.
    Fix that dust spot and the dark smudge above the bird and this is a 10 out of 10.

    Beautiful shot, these birds are difficult to catch in flight!
