Animals in Flight

The Hummingbird Hawk Moth, one of my favorite subjects. I really like the steady body and blurry wings, the perfect depth of field and the creamy background with the delicate tones. Congratulations on third place!

Beautiful catch and nicely rendered. The background and the sparrow work well together, almost tone on tone. Very nice focus and depth of field. A sharp, well caught image worthy of the top ten.

I really love the pose of this great tit rotating in mid air. A wonderful catch indeed, sharp and perfectly focused. The clean background is an extra being that in nature shots you rarely have the luxury to choose. Congratulations on second place!

I really want to compliment you for this fantastic catch! These are among the most difficult birds to photograph, so fast and unpredictable, and you got such a sharp, detailed image! Congratulations on your win!

What a fantastic image! I really appreciate the frontal view, it feels like the Osprey is looking straight at us. And that fish would be the envy of most fishermen. Great catch for the both of you! Congratulations on making the top ten.
