Oscar, Nice BIF- good exposure and details Congrats!

[Jeni Williams]

Well done Oscar - certainly not an easy capture!

[Lance Peters]

Hi Oz- Looking good - exposure looks good - like the wings down pose and the detail om the wings.
Might consider a bit of a crop to make it more of a pano feel.

Well done :)

[Gus Cobos]

Hi Mr. O,
I like the capture...you have sharp details and a sharp eye...would recommend on converting this into a pano crop to zero in all of the attention on the bird...also increase the saturation and contrast very little...good show...:cool:

[Alberto Oria]

Good Oscar, those little ones are very hard to catch.
Sharp and detailed.

[Alfred Forns]

You got it Oscar and the hard way !!! Not easy tracking with the larger lens !!!

Agree on the crop for proportion and might boost the contrast a tad !!! Excellent capture !!!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Nice and sharp Oscar. Think a pano might make it look more dramatic (??) and agree with adding a little more black for contrast. Well done!

[Harold Davis]

nice job, OZ. i like the sharpness!!! agree with the contrast boost suggestion.

[Oscar Zangroniz]

As requested by popular demand.

Cropped and added contrast

I was thinking a pano crop might not strengthen this much, but I was wrong ... improves it alot. Great job! These are very tough to catch in flight.
