That is really a great shot IMO. Not only did you capture the flight shot, but the light is really nice. There is not EXIF data on the download at least on my computer. I would be curious about your settings and gear. Thanks for sharing and again, great shot.

Thanks so much. Yes, I have learned that finding good light makes all the difference in any type of photography. So in this case the sun had come out in the afternoon somewhat front lighting my bird feeder area. I get a little excited when that happens because I know I can increase my shutter speed without too high of an ISO. My settings were ironically 1/3200 shutter and 3200 ISO. 6.3 was the widest my Sigma 150-600 would go. The real trick I have found is nailing the focus. I use single point continuous where it can follow movement however birds move soooo fast. I actually took this through the open kitchen window hand held while sitting on a high bar stool.

Finally, I did run it through Topaz Denoise to clean up the noise and Topaz Sharpening to add a little spark.
