    I joined some mates this morning and went to a local birding spot in Pretoria. It was great to capture these fast flyers again. My EC was set for other species, so when this white pigeon flew past, I didnt have time to reset my EC. The BG is natural, and is a distant OOF tree. Added a tiny bit of canvas at the bottom.

    Great sharpness and just about perfect flight pose. On top of that direct eye contact
    and interesting BG. Very nice.

    Cool pose, sharpness and eye contact. I might only tone down the highlights a bit more.
