Leap of Faith

One of those"there at the right time" images. From Galveston Texas. Still going through the 3500 plus images from that trip.

Good timing Joe! I like how the empty space in between the two perches gives the leap purpose. Pretty good sharpness, although a little crispy in places. Would have liked a bit more eye contact, but on the other hand the bird is looking at the landing zone.

I like everything about this one Joe, except for some sharpening issues in the shadow under the wing. Probably an easy fix. Amazing how much wing blur your still got at 1/2500. Which camera body did you use?

Lovely pose , BG and colors. The critical sharpness is lacking for me and the noise under the wing needs a bit of attention. TFS Joe!

Hi Joe, love the 'walking' pose in mid air, extended leg, and the yellows look good. Geat BG too. I have to agree with regards to the oversharpening.

Gorgeous BG and set up here. Love the action/behavior. Looks oversharpened in places as already mentioned. Like the sense of motion.

Hey Joe,
Great timing.....some issues mentioned but an easy fix. Good problem to have with that many images!

[Bill Dix]

Great action captured, Joe. Well titled. I like the comp and colors. Other issues noted.

Well timed image Joe! I like the setting, composition and BG.
