Top BIF Jacana shot dave. Face is pin and I like the blur in the wings. These are tough to catch in flight (even with the vocalising):D,thats what makes this good
Hi Dave Great capture !! Sharp and well exposed, don't think you could have given more exposure, love the clearly visible eye and overall feel with that gorgeous bg !!!
... Richard, in this situation any flash would not have helped, the shutter speed would lower the power output to less than a quarter so it would not reach !!
