    Nice head on shot Will, what was your hit rate with these little bullets? Hard to believe how fast they fly, not an easy shot to get sharp.

    I'm off to Skomer in a few weeks and would be happy with a head on shot this sharp.

    Nice flight shot Will. I always love these types of shots especially when the wings are diagonal like this. The slight head tilt is cool too. The rock on the bottom is a bit distracting for me, but not a deal breaker by any means. Light looks a little harsh. Such fun birds and this captures that well. TFS

    Great head-on flight capture, William. Not so easy to capture, and nice DOF.

    These guys are on the top of my list for flight shots!! Very nice William. The light angle wasn't perfect but the shot is sharp and has a cool pose. Well done
