Excellent wing position Fabs. Never see one like this.
Super shot Fabs. I like the detail and colour captured as well as the eye contact. good comp.

really nice shot, I like the angle and detail is great!
Superb job Fabs. I cannot keep the 500 far from my mind but I can´t get one until I sell my 300Vr. Of course, I can not imagine shoting an oystercatcher in flif¡ght with a bare 500 and a FF body in Spain (they are really shy in the south were I live). The light is fantastic and love the action. Did you get a long series of sharp images of this guy? Very well done
Beatiful Fabs!
Can't believe the sharpness and the exposure is perfect..
Best,
Nicki
Superb comp, and love the flying posture in this. You certainly nailed the exposure, and this is really sharp. Congrats.
Wow, superb flight shot of this species Fabs. The eye contact and details are wonderful. Maybe a tiny bit more room on top? What do I know, this image really grabs you :)
man o' man! I opened up the image and it was like the O.C. was flying in through my computer monitor! Tack sharp, a close to perfect BIF!
I know we're supposed to say why we like an image, but this one speaks for itself. You rock, lady, handholding that lens on a boat and coming away with an image like this....fabulous!
Most excellent fly-by with wonderful color saturation along with nice shadow detail. It's amazing this can be done from a boat. When my knee heals, I need to go see JS.
Thanks for sharing.....

From the thumbnail, I did not think that I would like this one but it is so, so sharp that I am forced to love it. Wonderful image design.
