i wish your dof was shallower and personally I would add some blur to the background to make it less distracting.
but over all this is a nice catch of a beautiful and graceful flight.
Clear shot in mid air. All ofl the greenery makes him get "lost in the shuffle" so to speak. Maybe zoom in on the bird more? Nice attempt at a moving object though.
Nice capture. I'm really impressed how you have managed to capture the bird that clearly. I has great colors and definition and nice choice in DoF. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <8>
