Amazing shot!

 

[Derrel]

Cool! Love the water droplets flying of the bird, after what I am guessing was an unsuccessful try at a fish! Good timing, good placement of the bird within the frame.

Nice shot Mr. Tricks.

What were your settings on this one?

Great shot, as all have said. I love BIFs but continue to struggle with them myself.

 

[Woodsman]

Sweet

I failed to get a single decent shot of them this year. Great capture

Those are excellent photos.

Fast shutter, wide aperture and shoot as fast as your camera will allow. I honed my birding skills shooting Humming Birds with a Minolta X-700 and a 200mm f/4 lens.
