Challenge #52: birds in flight! Winner: Artington
As for our second challenge this period I chose my a more technical difficult subject which I hope will draw some people to try something completely different: wildlife photography, specifically birds in flight.
Show us what kind of birds are flying around your house, neighbourhood or in a nearby park or field!
Shameless copy of Yildiz' rulebook.
Specifications:
*.. Challenge #52 ends on April 30, 2013.
*.. You may enter with as many photos as you like. We'd like to see your favourites.
*.. If you'll upload using the website's own upload feature, dimensions and the size should not exceed 1024*1024 and 250 KB respectively. If you link your photo from an external website/gallery the dimension and the size restrictions don't apply.
*.. Please title your submitted photos to make listing more sensible during the poll listing.
*.. Have fun!

It's not your computer, Mark. I can't see Ron's entry either.
Ron, no link to a photo from an external site or through the upload feature of the forum show in your post.
We'd love to see your Bald Eagle.
Nice entries so far, by the way.

Aster,
Thank very much for your help.
I think I see the problem. I did not notice the file is 276 kb.
Here is a smaller file. Taken with 70-400 at 400mm, F5.6, 1/1600 sec. Thanks

Sorry - I saw the challenge and could not resist.
Just got back from Antarctica. This was taken from a Zodiac in Paradise Bay, not from a tripod on a granite outcropping, but motion is what it's all about, right?

I know the typical "BIF" shot should have the bird occupy a bit more sizable portion of the frame, but this is the best I've got for now:
