    Good timing and nice wing position, Myer. Some minus EC to darken the sky and fill flash to open the shadows would have been worth trying. While the arm and cracker explain the behavior I would have been tempted to try and catch the bird before it got so close to eliminate the hand.

    Hi Myer

    Agree with Tony and can add tech wise would have gone for a much lower ISO, don't need that much shutter speed and the quality would improve !!!
