    Default Northern Pintail

    Here's another one from tuesday morning that I hope you will all enjoy. The 40D seems to be a bit better at holding AF on non-sky BG's than its predecessors :)

    Cheers!

    Great image Glenn-Beautifully sharp and all the colours compliment each other nicely, The movement in the wing tips and water droplets round it off nicely

    Hi Glenn, this is a stunning shot. The light is beautiful as are the droplets, the Background colors and the sharpness of the body of this gorgeous male. For this particular photo I only wished the wings didn't show as much motion blur as they do.

    Glen, this is an awesome shot--beautiful BG and very sharp. These guys are so hard to get sharpness on, this one looks great!

    Superb flight capture Glenn and I love the waterdroplets as well as the wing blur in this image. Everything is sharp where it needs to be. Excellent work !!

    Picture perfect! The BG colors work nicely with the Pinnies color and the water drops add to the overall impact.

    Nice capture Glenn. This one has a lot going for it as mentioned. I am not completely sold on the wing position or that much blur...but hardly a negative...just a personal pref. Well done.

    Jeez! Great flight shot. A complementay background and tack sharpness. Wings stopped motioned would have been perfect.

    Best,

    Jose
