Beautifully captured.

Great capture...I love the DOF. She doesn't even have her landing gear up yet :)

V. Nice!!

Nice!!

I love the detail and perfect timing of this image. My only nit is I wish there was more canvas to the left.

Thank you all for the kind compliments and glad you enjoyed.

Yes, would have liked a little more space also, but this was a quick shot, freehand, with a 500mm F4 with TC attached, as they jumped in front of us, so this is all I got, and lucky at that.:shrug:

I've always heard that "luck" is where preparation and opportunity meet. When you open Webster's and look up the word preparation, there's a picture of HBG given as an example. I think you did very well.

very nice HBG

Thank you so much Barefoot.:o

...and a big thanks to you also Kenny.

There is something comical about it. Kind of like running on water. Great timing.

Wonderful capture, HBG.

Thanks for the kind compliments AntZ, and Matt.

I thought I had commented on this, but looks like I missed it. Great timing and super sharp.

Thanks for the compliments RM. Very appreciated.

That's awesome, HBGirl! Would look very cool as a two page spread in a magazine!

Thank you very much JAS, (and I hope so)
