Hoi Dan ... perfekt flight pose for me , well timed frame or better said shot . BG is a bit busy but not much you can do .
Not knowing the species I can just guess .... whites on the neck does look blown or at least recovered with no details/feather structure . Are the underlings that blue ???
And again , that noise/grain in the wings ??? At Iso 800 ??? Any idea where that stuff is coming from ... I am guessing again , might be the processing
Thanks, Andreas, I am pretty sure it is my processing...
I am an avid photographer, get out most every day and take a lot of photos.
I process them fairly rapidly, this is just a hobby.
I am fortunate to live in a nice birding area, I can come home each day with dozens of
decent shots, I will process 3 or 4 and move on.
I do not look at each photo as an art project.
I do appreciate critiques which is why I post here.
I will try to be more careful about what I post.
