I see where the bird is heading towards you which helped, but the sharpness is still outstanding. Whites dead-on, blacks dead-on with no noise in the blacks visible, and an extra bonus of a clear and distinct eye. I need to learn how to do this as I am spending way to much time in post correcting head noise on terns and skimmers which is nearly impossible to do without loosing black feather detail. Artie and Denise, let me know the next time you are in Jersey!

I prefer the pano over the two birds shot. Both shots are good, but I love how the pano shows the shape of the wings and gives you a sense of the birds power. I also like that you kept the water dripping from the birds mouth as part of the image (and a little surprised you didn’t take it out). It is a key part of the story.
