    Unbelievable action shot! I might try to tone down the orange blooms in the bg. My only nit.

    Ramesh, blue-tailed, you meant, right? If you get this shot of blue-bearded, then I will faint right here in my chair :-)

    Excellent action and crop. You sure are having one **** of a time with these.

    Ramesh incredible action image of this bird. I too would tone down the yellow flowers. I might also move the bird closer to the right hand side of the frame by cropping about 1 cm (1/2 inch) from the right hand side.

    Superb action capture. Great detail, especially for 1/400 & f5.6.

    Excellent action shot!!! I'm impressed! I would clone out the two orange blooms because they are distracting...

    This is in flight? During a catch in mid-air?

    Anyway it looks awesome, sharp and exposure is right on, great DOF.

    I like the OOF flowers, leave em in! I just wish there were more :D

    Hi Peter, Ramesh listed the SS as 1/4000th! I dont think 1/400 would give us the sharpness we see here.

    Ah excellent, even more impressive! The pose is a little different so I was not sure. Great action.

    Thanks,
