PG in flight

[Alfred Forns]

From Shark Valley ENP Not much activity but did find a purple gallinule flying across the canal. The bg are busy so I opted for a slow shutter speed and a blur.

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Nice sharpness in the head and a good anount of blur to the wings. I might tone down the tip of the bill a bit.

I like the blur and would only work on the eye to make the catchlight smaller.

THe blur indicates speed and motion. You captured that well. THis is interesting indeed. Is it maybe a touch too light? Not sure, but perhaps a 1/3 darker would be more punchy? :)

Very good move opting for slow shutter speed.

Like the pose and wing blur.

I enjoy the background and the blurred wings! I agree that toning down the highlights might help to punch of the beautiful colors. Nice work my friend!
