Marcus, you are the top dude on these in-flight shots. Superb work here. Lovely moment.

Is that the 400 DO lens? Do you hand-hold all the time, or do you use a monopod/tripod?

Sounds like some kind of falcon, there are so many, did he have talons and a sharp beak, kind of gliding or flapping really hard? Hey this site has every bird you can find just about, maybe you can ID it and tell me what you saw......

Very beautiful shot. I love your nature work - I wish I could take these kinds of shots! I saw a bird today that I would've loved to have you identify (it had orange on his wings and flew so creatively - circles but winding at the same time). Once I got the camera and lens on he was way down the road. :( Kinda looked like an owl but not... any ideas?

You're the master! This is perfectionism: the side profile while the wings are deployed all the way (It's amazing to notice how you caught the right instant and angle so that the white feathers of the back wing provide a backdrop for the brown feathers of the front wing). It's an unrivaled and so well balanced composition; you've given him room to fly to. As expected, you froze the action, excellent dof, a beautiful and appropriately colorful blurred background, and the water at the base to remind us of his environment. Superexcellence Marcus ... ...Gab

Thanks Linda, they are one of my favorites, so dorky on the ground but graceful in the air, we get the brown all year at the beaches, but the white we only get for a short time, so i went out 3 days in a row until I got a shot I was happy with....
Thanks again

A sensational shot, Marcus. This is a real beauty--in the world of pelicans, at least. He is a very graceful flier, and you've caught him perfectly.

Best regards,
--George

Perfectly exposed and captured Marcus!

If you are not making lots of money doing this, you should be!

Your nature shots are always superb! They are as good as any I have seen anywhere.

He is so elegant! Caught in a really nice pose; it needs a lot of cold blood and experience to frame the bird in such an attractive position; best regards, Pawel

Superb, bird flight capture, Armani!

1/1000s has caught this pelican's movement, nicely. Looks like you've panned it, to get this level of detail. Exceptional. I can only dream of getting shots like this.

Colin

p.s. I'm looking after a baby housemartin, that the cat brought in, at the moment!
