How great it is to see these beautiful birds in a natural environment. A good view, exposure and blue sky. I would consider cropping more off the right side, but still a fun shot to catch.

Nice capture. Great sense of flight. Unless it becomes a problem of focus, I would take a little off the left. Make the bird the center as much as you can. Kudoos for the quick response.

Thanks JR - unfortunately you guessed right the focus is not strong enough for any tighter cropping :) Mary

I like this picture, as I am a fan of birds in flight. The photo gives you a sense of movement. You did a good job capturing the wings at the bottom of a down beat. While you did catch the bird nicely, the photo does not allow the viewer to get a good look at the bird. I think it is your distance that caused this, which i am sure couldn't be helped, and judging from your discription, they are a rare site in the first place. Nice work!!

Thanks so much, yes they were a little out of the 300mm lens ideal limit because their beak is so long and flat the definition doesn't show as much as I would have liked.
