Pin-tailed Whydah

These are tiny Birds and difficult to capture when sitting still, but take up the challenge to capture one in midflight.

I like that you got the bird flying towards you. The BG is very nice, with a solid sense of habitat. I might however crop in a little tighter to show us more detail in the bird. Please remember to include your EXIF data when posting images, and feel free to take advantage of our 1024 pixel wide and 800 pixel tall size limits. :)

Awsome looking bird! Nice flight shot......

Great capture Nico, as these guys are very erratic flyers. Lovely BG too.
