Taken yesterday at my local bird sanctuary. It can be a challenge at times to get a full green head, well lit speculum and the feet showing, while flying.

Wonderful shot Randy,
the position of the wings is just perfect.
I know you used a fast shutter speed but because of the soft leading edges
of the forward feathers it almost implies a sense of motion which I really like.
You judged your use of flash nicely in fact one wouldn't know flash was used!
Just curious, have you applied any sharpening to the image?
Regards
Tony

Tony:
Selective sharpening with Pixel Genius.
Flash on high speed sync, with better beamer, so just enough light at this shutter speed and distance to give a bit of pop to the colors and a catchlight.
It was a pretty dull day.
