CommentTo capture this image, I placed my camera on a small bean bag inside a frying pan to achieve a low angle of view, and used Live View on the articulating LCD screen to compose the shot. At 1/100 sec, I was able to create a dreamy blur in the wings while keeping the bird’s head relatively sharp. I converted the image to monochrome to highlight movement and simplicity. This image is entered for its artistic merit.
