NIKI LAUDA or WOZNIACKI ? §§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§ The 'NEW wave' (nouvelle vague) in bird photography combines Action and Detail in the individual's expression - during a pico-second. I.e. like Best SPORTs photos! TOMAS' shot is a fine example : Semi-open bill, eye a bit closed, speedway- low body while catching up his right leg... ___________________________ Of course the tiny fellow, above - C. alexandrinus - wasn't named after a heroINE, like ELEONORA's Falcon, but indirectly... after no less than Alexander the Great. In 332 b.C., Alex. founded the city Alexandria. Then, 1758, LINNÉ had some Kentish Plovers on his table. They were sailed to Sweden from EGYPT, near Alexandria... ___________________________ DANSK - re Hvidbrystet Præstekrave Fuglefotografi nærmer sig hastigt de bedste sportsfotografers: Action, ansigtsudtryk m.m. i et picosekund! Den lille fyr ovenfor er naturligvis IKKE opkaldt efter en heltinde, som ELEONORAfalk, men selveste Alexander den Store... dvs efter HANS by: Alexandria. De Hvidbrystede, der lå på LINNÈs bord i 1758, kom, per sejlskib, fra Ægypten, nær Alexandria. __________ Smiley and big Thx to TOMAS ........... C.
