Welcome back to NPN. Your talent has been missed. Great pose and detail. Looking forward to more of your work.

Welcome back, Kurt. We’ve missed you around here. A great reintroductory image up to your usual standards. A wonderful landing pose, beautiful light and of course, gorgeous detail.

Hi Kurt, glad you joined us for this one. Hope you stick around. I like the V at an angle here with the feet straight down. It’s a bit more dynamic/energetic to me. Nice coloration through the wings and the slight transparency visible in the outer primaries. Sweet shot.

Welcome back, Kurt. Good to see you posting again.

This is a fine image of a dynamic pose. As others have said, you got it in very good light. Well composed too.

Hi Kurt! It’s great to see you post again! I’ve never been a “birder” but I remember your excellent images over the years in NPN 1. This is another great shoot. Welcome back!

Thank you so much everyone for welcoming me back. I missed it here.

Wow, great image you’ve captured here Kurt. Enjoying the lighting and detail in the bird. Looks like he’s on final approach, ha ha.
