Great capture with just enough blur to show the enertia here.

Birds taking flight are not the easiest to get even with the very short shutter lag of the A1 or A2. But well captured and PPed certainly has a burst of energy.
Thanks John for the comment and for the tip. I did some work to the picture to give it a bit more 'impulse' so here is the new version.

Hi Mattana. I agree with the first comments (from Bruce?). Great timing here, although I don't get so much sense of an impulse as a smoother release of energy. A polarising filter cuts down undesired reflections to provide deeper skies and clearer pictures in sunlit scenes. The vignetting must be due to some other filter, perhaps a UV filter being used for lens protection(?), but helps with framing here. Cheers, John
Nice beginning to the competition. Did you use a polarizer? The viginetting draws the eyes to the bird. The highlights are just a tad blown here and there. Otherwise, nice job.
