Difficult capture Alfredo Those birds are fast and hard to track. I like including the flowers, does give it a nice touch !!

Tech wise could bump the ISO even a little higher, I know the D200 does not have the greatest noise ratio but its easy to clean, would be safe going to 800 !! Focus point for this one was on the belly but not much you could do !!

PS wise would select the head area and lighten just a bit, will make the eye more prominent and appear sharper !! Good processing !!! Sure wish I had one of these birds !!! Looking forward to the next one !!! ... btw as a member you can just upload directly from your computer with less trouble :D:)

Hi Alfredo,

PM stands for "Personal Message". You may find this thread useful. It is located in the Tutorials and Educational Resources forum. It is a list of acronyms which are use a lot in critiques. Hopes this helps.
