    Default Pin Tail Wydah #3 For Fabs

    Since I promised Fabs another image of this species - here it is. Surprisingly, I have posted a few images of this species since January. All captured on the same morning. It was overcast, and the only difference is the BG, where I may have walked to a slightly different area, as this has a few grassland flowers. Some of the FG, OOF flowers may distract.

    This is awesome Stuart. Love the action and beautiful flight pose as well as a very beautiful composition. Excellent exposure and the slightly blurred wings really gives the feeling of motion. Love this one Stuart !!

    Well done! Just wish it was sharper around the eye. Most of the OOF flowers work for me. All in all, I like the crop very much.

    I like the angle, setting, soft light and most of the BG. I would be tempted to make the BG in the upper right look like the rest.

    Super detail and BG...I think the flowers in front balance the comp nicely.

    Very nice Stuart. I like the angle of the bird and position of the bird and the flowers at the bottom provide a nice, colorful anchor.

    The inclusion of the flowers really improves the series IMO Stuart! If you don't have a problem altering the BG in PS, I agree with Axel's suggestion.
