Comment from hekartstudio
Perfect shot with energized motion. Loved the blurry flow of the wings which depicts very fast movement. I don't think of changing anything except the clarity of the beak. The sharpness of the eye really stands out. I don't see any grain. Nice shot-HEK

What a lovely shot Willie but shame on you for scaring the birds! LOL
This looks so good with his wings spread wide.
Lovely focus. We can see good detail.
The colour is bright, enhanced by the lighting.
Well done.

Comment from LarryB
Willie, some editing programs has a noise reducing function. Shooting at the speed you did you are going to have noise.

It is a good shot, i enjoyed seeing it. Well done, I bet he was badly scared.

Thank you so much. Yes he was, so was a lot of others. This was one of abot 50 shots. This was the best one. It made me laugh at some of them, they thought something was going to get them.
