A Painted Stork in Flight

This picture being one of my first real attempts with a SLR camera,i think is one my best.This picture was shot at Delhi zoo using a Nikon F-50 film based SLR with a AF-Nikkor 80-200mm lens. It was a beautiful winter afternoon and there were hundreds of painted storks in the trees surrounding the lake. I was looking for a good shot of these birds,when i saw a stork taking flight from the corner of my eye, i quickly positioned my camera for the shot,adjusted the focus by approximately judging the distance of the bird and took the shot. in the end it turned out to be a really nice shot.
