Wow...excellent in-flight shot of a sparrow. It's so hard to get a shot like this one. Amazing. I really like the composition. Very well done.


Best regards

Sindri

Jeez that is a damn good photo. I can see this getting some awards, really! Really nice colors and texture on the feathers. Must have been quite an experience, I can't even seem to get a bird in my viewfinder :P
