Very nice shot of a awesome moment, Pu !! #413265

Very nice picture - but unfortunately it seems that neither the bird nor the couple are very sharp. (Personally I would prefer focus to be on the bird).

I know it's easier said than done, but if the bird had been pitch sharp, this would have been an exeptional picture IMO. #2559885

Thank you very much for your comments, Al, Stefan, Judyann, Jim and Jill! Stefan, the focus was on the bird, but unfortunately this is one of my first attempts of the telephoto lens on a moving object, had a hard time locking on the moving object, and got worse when I tried to pay attention to the composition :( Certainly need a lot more practice on this. #2562711

Quite dramatic, Pu! The bird could be a little sharper but I think the photo's very striking, even so. It's difficult with a moving object and especially so, with a telephoto lens! Still a pleasing result. #2595419
