I said holy excrement when I saw this the first time.....and it evoked the same response again. What a killer shot. I think I might have been in too much shock and paralyzed to hit the button seeing this one in the viewfinder. One of your finest ever.
Thanks for all the contributions you make to NSN!

I remember this one and it is still outstanding! This one is so good that I don't mind if you keep showing it every few months or so, just to keep the bar set nice and high.

This image is almost impossibly beautiful. I know that I've seen it before but it still makes my jaw drop.

Alan,

I have seen it before. How in the world could one forget a shot like this? As I said when I saw this the first time, this is AWESOME! Every bird photographer I know would give almost anything for a shot like this.

Congratulations on #1,000. I share your thoughts 100%.

Alan, this is amazing! I can only imagine what it must have felt like to be seeing it through the viewfinder.

Dear Dad, By showing such a wonderful image you are actually being very cruel to the entire family, inspiring jealousy and perhaps even hatred (for making an image this good).

Your son, Artie
