What a fantastic capture, I've never seen better! Perfect clarity and they just look like they're suspended without movement just for you to take their picture.
Excellent work.

Derek,
This is one fantastic photo! The exposure and the depth of field are great. I also enjoy the small border/frame/matte.
I might have introduced a little more color saturation to this one but very, very little. did you use motor drive and take many photos of this?
I love it!
Scott

Hello Derek,

You have done well to omit noise with such a high ISO.
The shot is tremendous! These feuding birds don't stand around waiting for you to take a shot! Good sharp focus, lots of inferred movement and real drama!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

WOW Derek
Im amazed at how well the detail of the birds wings and their colours have come out. Its superb.
Have you cloned anything out like a bird table or pole or anything cos it looks like the peanuts are also suspended in mid air?
The birds colours are just absolutely stunning.

Hi Derek,
Great action shot, the colours and sharpness are good with just enough motion blur in the wings, a great DOF makes the birds stand out well, excellent work
Well done

Hello Derek, I like your title.
Excellent shot of the starlings, your timing was perfect, no blurring from motion at all.
The colours and patterns are good.
As Tracy says, they look as if they are suspended.
Well done.
Tfs, regards Jean.

This is the first posted image I have seen with the new D700. Looks like it also can handle a lot of ISO. (I have a D300 so I understand.)
Great clarity here Derek, perfect settings to stop the "action".
