Awesome bg and an interesting pose captured, Jim!
If anything, I wished there was slight separation between the bill and right wing ...

Very nice behavior capture Jim. The lighting seems a little harsh, but exposed well as could be.

The best RWBB I have seen. This guy flies really fast. Catching them in flight is next to impossible. The BG is simply fantastic.

Congratulations!

Nice capture, Jim. Love the in-flight pose. My only nit is the eye appears a bit soft. The point of focus appears to be on the nearest leg.

Pretty awesome with the open bill and landing pose, Jim.
This is a lot harder to do than most might think!
