    Nikon D3s 600 VR taken at 840mm. 1/2000sec-f6.3 -0.3EV. ISO640. I uses lightroom and adjusted levels. I also add some NR to wing and BG. I used a beanbag and panning plate. I realise HA is not the best.

    Vivaldo, incredible sharpness for a small-bird-flight shot. Exposure looks good too. Excellent shot. If mine, I'd place the bird a bit lower in the frame.

    Well done in getting the focus spot on with the 1.4 converter. I really don't have a problem with the HA. Good under wing detail.

    Wonderful sharp detail and beautiful bright colors. The 2-tone background without interfering details is perfect.

    Well done, they are extremely difficult to photograph when flying.

    One of the best Sandgrouse images Ive seen. Great IQ, light, colours and sharpness. Well captured Vivaldo.

    Great one Vivaldo, excellent Sandgrouse in flight. As allready mentioned nice and sharp, great eye contact and detail in the plumage together with a wonderful background. Well done.
