I think in a Free Study this would win hands down. Its one of the top bird shots I have seen here. but I also had a hard time scoring it over a 7 with out any emphasis on the wings. Great Title I missed that because some wicked headshot kept staring at me. :)

Do you like, act all surprised and shrug your shoulders and shake your head when someone catches you out, making out like it was all an accident? "I don't know what the hell this things doin', it seems to have a mind of it's own???" ka-zzzt ka-zzzt "see there it goes again" ka-zzzt... I'll be quiet now, nice shot dude! :)

Honestly I have yet to get caught, or atleast called out on it in any serious way. I combine the look away with the fake confusion going on in the menus or options routine. The closest I have got to being caught was for a shot in the shadows challenge, I tried to get this guy walking toward me between these shadows. He then walked up to me and slightly pissed and said "you takin my picture?" I said no I am just getting the shadows behind you for this website I do. He looked then said oh yeah thats pretty cool I'd give you an A+, LoL. My day will come.

no problem, it took me a few months to realize this also and I was looking for it. :) glad I could help.

Go.....!

You do have such equipment! :) The D50 has rear curtain sync mode. You know where you press the button to pop the flash? While hold that button down and twist the dial where you change settings in the top right on the back of the camera. If you look at your LCD screen you should see the little box where the flash is change to rear eventually, that is the mode ann is talking about. :) Check your manual for more explanation.

I loved the shapes in this, it was wonderfully compressed.
