Saturday Photo Hunt - The Almost Clean getaway

Posted in General, Photo Hunters

Photo Hunt

Theme: Clean
Almost Clean Getaway

Comment: I received a lot of questions about my photo last week so I decided to add a bit of an explanation this week. My photography style is one of taking strange things sometimes. This particular shot was taken while on holiday in South Africa’s Eastern cape in a town called Port Alfred. I was trying to track a Dove in flight and didn’t get this right. I usually delete shots like this but the tail seems so perfectly in focus that I thought it might be interesting to keep. So here is my photo of the Dove which almost got Clean away :-)

    Thanks for the explanation… it helped a lot. Great take on “clean”. Mine is rather different from the main stream as well.

    Like it! No sense in tossing it out. The details in tails are fascinating.

    Hi jmr!
    Thanks for your visit to my blog. I’m a new Photo Hunter from Singapore.

    Hey, like this photo. It’s difficult to ‘catch’ a bird in motion. The tail is detailed. haha… you almost cleaned it away!
