Hello, Dave, great moment captured ! On the thumb I first thought something was hanging from its beak :wink: … I love the poses, and the images seems pretty good on the techs as well! Love it. Cheers, Hans

Nice takeoff action shot. Exposure looks good as does detail in the larger version.

A great action shot, Dave. The leg position and body angle make it look like he just tripped and is about to fall on his face. Excellent detail.
