Wow, that is sharp! and hand held from the sound of it!

A Flicker! I love these! I took a photo of one yesterday, but it didn't turn out this well. Couldn't get too close and she wouldn't face me.

Nice work!

**Sailor** · 05-01-2014, 07:54 AM

Well done, buddy - looks like terrific execution requiring quick reactions and managing some tough lighting.

Very nice impromptu shooting.

I usually have all the wrong camera settings when something like that pops up!

Yep thanks trokia - I usually suffer the same fate but she (or he) let me grap a few snaps before they took off.

As already stated ; realy sharp! DA300 + K5IIs is a great combo. Hope to buy a second hand K5IIs rather soon, but the Pentax second hand market is rather small in Belgium...

Great capture,

Igor

Very nice images Dave, had a Flicker sitting in the Saskatoon bush the other day but by the time I got there .......
