Lynn,

Tremendous image. The warm light, wing position, and fish all add up to make this a winner.

Super acrobatic air show, Lynn. Right on timing and the intense look of the bird determined to get the fish is so astoundingly captured. A very unique shot it is.

Impressive flight shot and the catch and water droplets in the capture really set this one apart...never mind that pose!

Very nice capture and lighting. The only eye distraction are those several black dots just below the beak; other than that great photo.
