I actually think it works. The blur is just enough to show the motion of the dive and the sky is gorgeous. Good shot.

Nice shot Carlton, love the backlight through the feathers.
Know what you meen about getting out more. These days i seem to charge the batteries to just let them run down in the bag. Roll on spring and some more daylight hours.

Take care mate.

Not much more you could do with that Carlton. You were already at +1 1/3, any more and the noise would start creeping in. Nice feel to it though.

I like that Carlton, I always see it happen but can never capture it, too quick....not easy, well done.
