Bathing

[Alfred Forns]

Sure like catching these guys bathing, low keeper rate for me ! Like to end up with a fairly full frame image and tough when they jump, try moving the sensor spot down and the 7D has been doing well !! .. would rather have gotten bird in the air... the four frames I did wings did not look good and one was clipped.

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Loverly. I love the raised wing position and especially the curved tertials. And yes, a very low keeper rate:)

That's wonderful, I don't think I've ever seen the tertials visible and curved like that.
Pose perfect.

Beautiful Alfred, I like the pose and would be very happy with this one in my files. I think the water adds nicely to the image appeal.

Wonderful pose and detail.

Lovely low perspective Al, and I like the head on angle. Good to see the raised wings, and I like the soft blue colour of the water.

loved the rised wing pose, nice light and expo too..

Al very nice! I love the pastel colors and the action! Just the right blur and sharp where it counts.
