From my recent trip to Bosque with Artie, a grab shot of a Killdeer by the crane pools

Manual
1/640s at f6.3
Cropped about 60%

Nice action and good eye contact in this image but I do find the BG distracting. They are so often found in these areas and it can not be helped You did well to catch these little bullets in flight. Thanks for sharing.

Nice capture, I like the eye contact and would crop tighter and it needs a bit CW rotation. Please convert the color space to sRGB before posting. The colors look off in non-color managed browsers if posted as Pro Photo RGB.

Thanks Axel. I will do that.

Though your crop is obviously better I didn't want to crop it that much as the one I posted was already cropped about 60%

I like the action alot but I have to agree with Judy and Axel. the Bg is a bit distracting and a the bird is very small in the frame. Too bad that this one is a big crop and you can´t crop more

I gave the BG a gaussian blur which I think takes away a bit of the distraction
