I love the delicate softness you have created here, Carol. I think this is both great shooting and fine editing.Rona L. Schwarz December 07, 2010
Wow! Fantastic in-flight action capture of this little Chickadee, Carol! Your timing was spot-on - his feathers in both wings and tail are in the perfect fan motion and then you have such exquisite detail in the bird itself. Plus, the soft background is a beautiful complement. Superb capture and composition! #9086580Nadia Paul December 08, 2010

Outstanding bird-in-flight photo, Carol. Looks like you caught her putting on the brakes to make a sudden turn, and captured the action perfectly ~even with a sparkle in her eye. #9087280Phyllis H. Burchett December 08, 2010

This is precious,Carol!Excellent capture! #9091858frank w. degenhardt December 10, 2010
I love these little brds and have a couple of pictures of them sitting on a branch and wire, but this is incredible. I know how small these birds are and for you to get this amazing and beautiful actions shot with the wings out and the tail feathers fanned is incredible. This kind of reminds me of a picture you would expect from a hummingbird, not this fast little guy. What gorgeous camera work, colors, details, dof, lighting, all come together for one remarkable picture my friend. #9091985Carol L. Fowler December 12, 2010
Thanks for those comments! Yes- they certainly are fast and give no warning before they fly away. #9094990Freddy Bland December 29, 2010
Fantastic!! I have such a hard time with these little Chickadees as they are fast..don't sit still for very long! This is outstanding work!! #9131727frank w. degenhardt January 18, 2011
