Lets Jump

[Lance Peters]

Whay say you ??? Enough sharpness for this to work??? All Opinions welcome :)

These little guys spend there days running around in the grass - all you have to do is lay down in the grass and wait for them to run up to you - bit of a problem when the stand 2 inches in front of a 200-400 VR though - LOL

Cropped some from either side - otherwise full frame.

This is too funny Mr. Peters,
I love it...:) you did very well in the capture. I like the feel and the frisky mood of this little rascal...:cool:

[Alfred Forns]

It is a funny one Lance !!! Got enough sharpness in the head to make it work I like the intense look !!!

[denise ippolito]

Lance, This is cute and a half!! I like the jump!

[Kerry Perkins]

Hi Lance. This works for me! I like the contrast of the motion and the sharp eye. Reminds me of the "hummingblurred" picture I posted in OOTB. The little fellow has attitude!

[Ilija Dukovski]

Great colors,
Note the fact that if the eye is sharp,
the image is sharp enough.

CUTE! Are the aqua feathers around the face really that color?

[Harold Davis]

these are cool when you can catch it!! awesome and i think it is sharp enough where it counts.

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Guess you found the minimum focusing distance on you lens Lance. Like the blurred action and the intense colours of blue.

[Katie Rupp]

My response? A big chuckle when I opened it! The energy and attitude is captured perfectly, Lance. It works and I really like it.

[Lance Peters]

Hi Nonda - yes they are that blue - once they get into breeding plumage they whole body goes ELECTRIC blue - realy cool - hope to get some shots later in the year.
:)

[KurtPreston]

Cool! Love the motion and the eye being so sharp. I bet the shutter release souonded like a cannon to this guy :)

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Face is very sharp, and like Al says that makes it work. Great capture my friend.
Congrats

[Christopher Miller]

Very nice! Absolutely love the jumping pose! Like everyone else has said, it has the right combination of sharpness and blur to make it work. Good job!
