•  Support Approximately what speed and altitude might this bird have been at? Urban Versis 32^KB ⚡ ^{(talk | contribs)} 18:12, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

• Late afternoon light, passed us about 20m off the water at about 30 km/hour. I was 3m above the water in a boat, increasing the relative speed to 40 km/hr. I took about 15 shots. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:24, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Weak support The light is very appealing, but the wings slightly blurry. Also the sharpness is average. It looks like the DoF is too generous, compared to the speed, a bit slow. Overall support because shooting a bird in flight is never easy -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:38, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

• I think the sharpness is good, but I agree about shutter speed and aperture. When a bird suddenly appears, you don't always have time to get everything right. Charlesjsharp (talk)

` Support The dark halos on the wing feathers in the first image deserved a little more work but otherwise very good..--Ermell (talk) 21:35, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Question A very impressive set, but in the right photo the individual feathers of the wing seem to fuse or melt into another and lack definition. Is this due to motion blur, due to noise reduction or due to something else? --Aristeas (talk) 07:17, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

• It's 80% motion blur. Not much detail has gone in the noise reduction. Charlesjsharp (talk) 07:22, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Support Thank you for the answer! (I did hesitate for some days to vote on this set because that “fusion” of feathers looks so artificical to me, but I believe you that it is mostly just motion blur.) --Aristeas (talk) 07:56, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
