Flight

[Rajeev Khanna]

Just to show the take off of small birds they seem to leap in the air from the perch and a combination wing movement results in sufficient air speed for flight

Nice freeze. Loved the pose here. Focusing is always a challenge with small birds in flight.

Nice take off pose captured. The wing spread looks nice. Its good you used 1/1600 shutter speed but with these small birds a higher shutter speed would have enhanced the details further. Wish you were a bit more to the right as that would have helped to get more eye contact. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

Two things are required: High shutter speed as well as accurate focus on the subject. That will ensure sharper image. Too often the shutter speed may be ok, but the focusing remains off. The pose here is nice. Thanks for sharing.
