I'm not normally a lover of bird photos, but this caught my eye. Well done! great job!

I'm impressed with this panning (I think they're very hazardous shots to achieve) and this one is really good.

To refer to your message on dpreview... remember that it is not the camera who makes the pictures but its owner. I've seen people making better shots than me (KM-5D owner too) with a simple point and shoot compact APN.

My advice : Keep up working on the framing, the lights, work in RAW to keep full control of your final picture... and also be very severe with your selection of pictures. :-)

(I'm not registered in dpreview that is why I'm answering you there... hope you don't mind)

As Claire, I'm not into to birds... But this is a great image!
The panning effect and colors are amazing!

Hi Girello! :) I like the panning effect and the reflections on the water. I wonder if it would be better to crop the upper dark line in backround...

Very nice! :)

WOW! Spectacular shot. How do you take shot like these?

Hi, thanks for you comments! For this shot I used a longer shutter speed and followed the birds with the camera. This tecnique is called "panning"...I shot some pics and I was lucky enough to get this one!!

Great Panning - My favourite shot in your Gallery - but there are many. Keep up the good work. Well done.

It is a nice photo.  I think it's the contrast between that cool looking water and the grass.  Water has a great colour to it..

As above, great shot.

Great panning to achieve this image well done. cheers Bev.

wow.. the movement are captured very nice
