Image solution:
focal length @ 630mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / in camera matrix metering / ISO @ 320 / 1/1650sec. - f/8 / white balance @ cloudy / AF - mode @ dynamic range, auto - continuous / color space @ sRGB /lighting solution - no speedlight, ambient light / exposure comp @ -0.7EV / tone comp @ +2 degrees / hue adjustment @ +2 degrees / saturation factor @ +2 degrees / support platform - no tripod, hand held, flat on belly /

Comments greatly appreciated…:cool:

Hi Gus

This is really cool mate! I love how it is suspended in the air. Is it a vertical image or horizontal?

Cheers :)

Cute in air Gus! Looks maybe to need just a bit of CW rotation? And a couple hots spots on birds neck and face?

Adorable image!

Would go horizontal to accentuate the speed but sure has a good feel as presented !!!
