Lovely pose captured, the details are so crisp too. Love seeing all the scalloped edges of the feathers.

Stunningly beautiful capture of this gorgeous species, Axel. Exquisite detail from head to tail and wonderful pose with eye contact as she flies by. Superb shot!

Axel, Very well done. The background allows the bird to stand-out beautifully.

Another outstanding image in this series of Purple Martins. The female seems to lend itself better to show off its details in flight due to its midtone coloration. Details are wonderfully shown.
