    Another from the set up......At last, after years of trying, I managed to get a decent shot of the Long-tailed Tit in flight....They are so fast and unpredictable.....I managed a few others but liked the flight pose on this one....Gimbal Head....ACR, Topaz DN and PS.

    That's a great flight frame of a tiny bird! incoming pose is super engaging, and the feet are a great addition. Head completely clear of the wings as well. Not much I'd do to improve this frame.
    Gotta love 1/8000 when you can make it work!

    Pretty fantastic will. A superb pose of a subject we almost never see captured in flight.

    Smack dab in the focal plane with a nice crop IMO. Great detail, congratulations!
