Please See Larger Size. Thank you!

Great shot!

Excellent work, perfectly frozen and showing off the amazingly varied details of the flicker.  Somebody once told me never to wear stripes with polka dots, but he seems to pull it off =)

Excellent details and feathers position in flight,compliments.

Wow, great catch! I have problem catching these guy perching let alone flying.

Bravo Mircea,  a wonderful capture, good the light and colours, ciao Giangiorgio

great action shot.  It captures all the unique attributes of this marvelous creature.  The colors, spots, stripes, and all the other details are finely captured!

Wow.....Not only did you nail focus, the light spotlights it perfectly. It doesn't get better than this.

Excellent colors, light and focus, but most of all, great timing! It looks like dancing, you almost hear it flying!

E intotdeauna o placere sa vad poze faine (si mai mult imi place sa le fac :) , dar ma bucur mai mult sa aflu ca sunt facute de romani. Si cand te gandesti ca suntem "adoptati" de acelasi oras (si sunt de patru ani in Montreal). Felicitari!
