    You really nailed this one. Sharp from head to toe with good sense of motion. The horizontal lines feel like pan blur. Can you get that at 1/2000? At any rate, I love it. TFS

    Well captured, good detail in a lovely complimentary BG.
    I would be tempted to reduce the blobs in the upper BG.

    Great shot John, the bird is beautifully detaile and the fast shutter speed worked well. Additionally you have a background that despite the faster shutter speed, it shows movement - great shot.

    Nice solid heron-in-flight image. Sharp. Good BG, but yes, I too would be tempted to remove the blotches along the top (or at least minimize their presence). I am finding that their is a yellowish cast to the image?
