What an impressive shot, Shalu!! Every little detail is so sharp.

Love the white pelican against the dark background. Beautifully photographed, Shalu!!

Thank you very much, Dennis and Mike!

Amazing capture as usual, Sha.

May I ask what focus points you typically use for your action shots?

Thank you very much, Melissa! I keep it simple, use Wide mode (no tracking) for majority of my shots. It is the most effective mode when combined with a Dot Sight.

Very nice, Shalu. This bird is definitely on my list of species to capture.

This is an A-Number-1 shot of a superb fairy wren, Richard. Everything about this shot is excellent.
