12th June 05 Vertical Takeoff

Taken for the DPChallenge 'Birds'.
I spent an afternoon feeding this Robin and one of his fledglings. I noticed that every time the flash went off when he was within 2meters he jumped into the air, but dropped just as quickly to take the food. I knew there was a shot there and it was just a matter of timing until I caught it right.

I'm quite proud of the way the eye is rock solid whils there is still some movement in the wings.


other sizes: small medium original auto
