Very neat shot Greg. I like the head turn-like he is watching the wing.

Oh! This is my fav! I love the incoming bird and its position in flight, I think it's so unique. Cute little outstreched legs. :)

This is a cool shot. With puffins, it may be even more interesting than a flight shot. Really nice.

Ahhh Puffin man :wink:

Love it. Always liked wing movement in a subject, whether its a butterfly or a bird. Amazing look to this, fantastic timing and one heck of a balance IMHO. Funny how the subjects change but the images don't, that make sense M8t. A fly, a bird, a landscape all rely on the same qualities for it to shine. This shines Greg.

All the best up and beyond.

Danny.

For some reason I always have a chuckle when I see these birds, especially in flight. They just don't look like they are built to fly. Excellent image, Greg.

Greg, I almost missed this one. It is out of sight (and fortunately not out of site). As I've said before, your image sharpness is second to none.

Outstanding! (as usual).

You're right, the site is really taking off. Special thanks to you, Heather and E.J. for starting NSN. I love it already!

The dangling legs make this one for me. I like the color and position in the frame as well.
