    I was taking images of it feeding when it heard it's mates' call and it blasted off.

    I hate to say this, but if you wanted to freeze the wings' motion 1/900 sec is not fast enough, clearly. Very nice shot, but the blurred wings distract from it.

    Thank you,

    I'm not into freezing wings. Showing them blurred shows motion. Do you photograph propeller planes with the prop frozen by a fast shutter speed? It looks like the engine stalled and the aircraft is about to fall out of the sky. Sometimes I freeze wings, sometimes I don't.
