Excellent shot, Ron! I continually am amazed at the ability to get such clarity on birds in flight!!! It is a definite skill! #7378139Ann Coates April 06, 2009
Yes, I agree with Pat. I really admire shots like this because I just can't do them no matter how hard I try. This is superb, both birds moving and in focus with excellent clarity. #7378213Dominick M. Dimacale April 06, 2009
