Bird Photo Competition 6 2013 : Entry Number 195

Great sense of movement created by panning with a slow shutter speed. Keeping the head sharp with this type of shot is much more difficult than it looks.

Thanks for another Mark of Excellence. My name is Stefan Betz and I am from Germany. This picture was shot at the Weingartner Moor. Taken with an Canon 1Dx and Ef 600mm lens coupled with a 2x teleconverter. Shot taken with 1/60s. Less post processing, only adjustments in highlights and shadows
