I've seen NZ fantails and it's an effort just to catch one in flight at all. This may not be a technically good shot due to focus etc but I give it a load of 'cool' points for that unusual moment/pose and the fact we can see what it's chasing. The crop looks fine to me as well.
At 1/2000 and f6.3 you've made a good effort to capture the bird. But if you are having trouble ramp it up more if your camera will go higher. Drop the f-stop and add some more ISO if necessary. It takes practice though, with those little birds you still have to get your camera moving as close to in sync with the bird as possible.
Critiques - They do need to be honest if the recipient is to learn from them. But, if someone has put up a photo that falls way short of great, perhaps they are a learner. Whether child or adult, learners need encouragement and explanation. They need to know what they did right as well as wrong. Few of us respond positively to harsh critique, most will respond better if guided, not humiliated.
I'm sure antiquetiger is just finding his feet here. Remember that many (read that as 'most') other photography forums tend to be much more aggressive/direct in nature than here at ph.ca. However, I've never seen so many people learn so much, so quickly as I have here in this forum. The 'system' works here.
