Parakeet in flight

Postby Rags on Thu Sep 08, 2005 4:55 pm

This Rose ringed parakeet was feeding on ripe mangoes when a crow came along and startled it. I guess I was lucky as I fired just when the parakeet took off. D70 and 300/f4 Nikkor

Rags, Chennai India.

Awesome capture, sharp as.
Personally I think they would of been so much better if it was taken a littler earlier, with the parakeet in clear air (blue sky). But with these sorts of shots you don't get that kind of choice :)

Nice crisp capture rags. Pity he wasn't flying into the frame to add more impact. Perhaps you can flip him around in PS. :lol:
Great shot though!
