Great image Mary well done. Regards Rich.

Superb! Just superb.

excellent shot. bravo

Thanks all, Christian, you gave me the "bug" to try to catch one of these--really liked yours---finally bought a new fixed lens. Still can't imagine getting two though!

excellent capture, great pose. I love the light and background, the blurred wings convey the motion well.

Yes - beautiful position you have captured him in! Amazing background! I hope to get out this summer and try my hand at birds. Trying to get a shot like this seems so daunting though!

Amazing capture with incredible dynamic smooth wing capture. Sharp body with wonderful detail. Regards

Thanks John, Jan and Anthony, was thrilled to get this one. I bought a new lens just so I could try these guys in flight--still trying to duplicate it :)

Lovely capture with beautiful colors and DOF. Excellent shot, Mary! Best regards!

Thanks David, I appreciate it.

Absolutely stunning. Great detail, amazing DOF... amazing. The bokeh is nice as well, not distracting.

Thanks Dan, may be the best shot I ever take :)

Perfect!!!
