Awesome!! Great capture as he's just touching down. Good sharpness around the eye, and a nice blur on the wings. Nice work!

Well Marcus, I had trouble with a big, fat duck sitting by the pool; here you are catching them mid air, in perfect focus!

Thank you for your kind comment on my jeweler spoof; it gave me the opportunity to discover an exquisite wildlife portfolio.

Thanks Ismael, this was part of a 5 shot burst, I always shoot them in continuous mode, get a focus lock and shoot away......

Hi Marcus,

I got some very impressive shots... never seem any like it. You could publish a book, if you already don't have one. What kind of equipment do you use?

Greetings from Brazil!

David Hofmann   {K:22223} 2/10/2005
great capture of that short moment. I shot ducks and swans a lot and know how difficult it can be sometimes to get those moments.

The only nitpicking I could do is that the focus is slightly lagging behind, but that isn't really a problem at this resolution.

It must be hard to focus on moving targets especially with that depth of field?! Well done for doing so, the result is just lovely! Thanks for your comment.
