I like the interaction, angle and incoming parent and wish the head of the youngster were parallel to the sensor. If it were mine, I might remove the pink area between the two birds.

stunning shot, how do you find the 80-400mm for image quality and af speed.

[James Salywoda]

Mital man I give you credit getting nice flight shots with the 80 400 lens its not easy because of the slow focusing
outstanding shot I love the composition.

Mital, Very nice moment captured-The awaiting of food! I like the composition and agree w/ removing the pink spot. Great shot.

Dear scottthehat,

the speed is slow for 80-400 but learning pre-focus helps a lot in some cases not all.
BIF is always been a fascination for me and i am trying hard on that...
