While trying to shoot woodpecker pairs I spotted this one fly on to another tree and took a few shots as it went after a flying insect. The background is busy but I like it as well as the colors. What do you think.
Taking at North Key Largo with my D2X in crop mode and my 75-150e/3.5 nikon, my 70-200/2.8 is in the shop but this lens is fun to use close up. f3.5@1/1250 sec, iso 400, EC +1/3. Thanks for looking, Rick
Rick, Other than the background that you mentioned, I also wish for a better head angle and also the head a little sharper. I like the blurred wings though.

Love the wing position and am fine with the BKGR. The head is both turned away and not critcally sharp.

I like the concept and the blur of the wings makes it a dynamic image. The head could be a bit sharper, maybe a another round of selective sharpening would be a good idea.
