Striking capture Nate --- I like the action. Though I like the bits of color along the bottom, I think the image could be stronger if they were cropped off. A distinctive image!

Very nice. What was your initial objective, the RR or the cricket?

Thanks for your comments everyone! Dean, I was focused on the roadrunner when he went for the cricket.

Nate, how cool is that, fantastic cricket toss image.  Neat angle and low POV showing the gaping beak; the aerial prey item is icing on the cake.

This is very nice. Great behavior and timing. My only suggestion would be to consider either cropping or cloning out the dark blotches from the top of the frame. Dave
