This one was done using manual focus on moving subjects, a lot harder to do than I thought it would be. I also have this photograph with a different crop in my profile entitled Got Food.

The location is another of my favourite places, the Auckland Botanic Gardens.

nice capture, but needs to be cropped tighter. the dof helps, but your subject is overwhelmed by the background.

Lovely shot of the birds, but they would have made more impact if the background was softer.

Great capture - I don't know whether you could have cropped to focus on the bird with prey and have excluded the overexposed one.

Cool shot... Shallower depth to isolate the birds from the background might have been nice, but what can you do hey?

Good catch but the background is too busy and is disturbing.

While it's an excellent capture, the background is too distracting.
