Nico:

Great sense of motion here with the low shutter speed and blurry wings. Well exposed, nice colors, drip a plus. Nice feet too!

Might crop a bit looser left and below.

Cheers

Good landing posture Nico, and I like the complimentary BG. I cant believe that droplet stayed there, at the speed these guys fly.

[Danny Laredo]

Lovely flight image. Sweet light and expo.

[Tony Whitehead]

White face perfectly placed between the blurred wing tips, Nico. Colour palette captures the feel of a Highveld winter.

[Arthur Morris]

Love the pose, the blurred wing tips, the nice light, and the BKGR. And the hanging feet. Twist my arm and I might ask that the bird's head and neck be angled a slight bit more towards us.

Good action shot and detail Like the water droplets WD

[Jay Tan]

Wonderful pose with blurred wings that convey motion and of cos that water droplet. Lighting is sweet too. I find the crop a little too tight though.
