Well done catching this little one, Jan- they nest at our home and I know how fast they are! Nice catchlight, lovely BG.
Great shot of this speedster, Focussing on it is a great task. Is this high a crop?
no it was taken nearly full frame with a 100-400mm lens at 300mm

Excellent shot. Loved the eye contact
Hi Jan, This is pretty wicked. My only problem is with the hot whites (???) and the uneven light. I will check the whites now and be right back.

Good work in getting this fast flying bird sharp. Detail suffer from what looks like a big crop though.
See this thread in the ER to learn to save the highlights when converting in ACR: http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ad.php?t=39984Originally Posted by Jan Fourie
