taken at a local bird show. the trainers hand is on the right side of the photo and im right next to him. i actually wanted to get the photo of the bird in flight prepairing to land but due to the shutter lag i got this slightly out of focus shot.

i wasent expecting this shot as im looking through the viewfinder. my cam has a very poor manual focus so i hav to use auto meaning a slower response time
this is an interesting photograph.....if the bird had been in focus it would have been wonderful....That bird must have been really close to you when you photographed it!
Very good idea, but I'm sorry to say the execution could have been better. Try pre-focusing to a point that you figure is the correct distance in advance, then hold until you have the shot. 7 for effort.
Don't know how much room you had to work with, but I might have tried moving further to the left so as to omit the audience from the photo. You also might have snapped one second to late. The tail feathers seem to be more in focus. Looks like it was a thrilling experience non the less.
I know it´s difficult but the eyes of the bird have to be in focus for that shot to be good. Also it seem to be litle underexposed and mayby it would have been better to crop the people out of the pic.
wow, i mean really though, WOW. great jorb, ten for you for risking talons to the face in pursuit of a photo. i guess a flash might've helped, but that's when you really risk being pecked. the crowd watching really adds something. great jorb.
