    I appreciate the effort to capture this little speedster in flight, but 1/1600 probably wasn't fast enough to freeze the wings on maximize detail on the subject. The focus plane also seems to fall on the flowers at the upper right, and I'm not sure if the bird is in front of or behind that reference point. Either way I don't think the bird is sharp enough. Gotta go back out there in some nice sun!

    Wish the flowers weren't all clumped together. The background is great.
