Why fly when I can walk on water...

Not sure why but there was something about this photo that I liked...

All shots are hand held with my 100-400

The first shot is at F5.6 ISO800 1/200 @400mm...1/200 is what kept me from being able to freeze the action but there is something about the blur that I think helps the image...but I could just be crazy too.

It works for me as the head is in focus...so the blur is in all the right places.

I like the way the wing blur in the first shot so strongly says motion.

First one is the best...nice work!

HAHA, I love to watch these fights.

Hey nice shot like the blur in the wings!!!!!
