The Conductor

I know it is not a great focus, but for me, this is a huge improvement from how birds in motion used to turn out. I have been reading up on how to capture them and practicing daily. I took this one last week and was so excited to see improvement.

Ha, ha, ha, this is great!!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

I love how it seems we are there, peeking through the reeds, watching his secret business. (dancing?conducting an invisible orchestra? conducting an orchestra of frogs?LOL) The flowers reflected in the pond are so wonderful.

[Nicole]

Wonderful capture!! Practise makes perfect ;)

[Chris Johnson]

This is great and nicely done on making improvement. The motion is awesome and so is the colorful reflections.

[Muriel Scheurer]

To me it looks like the bird is conducting a choir of yellow flowers. Together with the title it looks like a fun shot. But also love the reflection and how it looks like we are, like MaryBeth says, peeking through the reeds. Anyway, great capture! And o, I know how hard it is to capture birds, love to see your improvements.
