    No one else will see it, but it looks like a Kermit the frog pose to me.
    I run out of names also.

    Dan:

    Love the feet, nice framing. Was he coming in to land at a box? In a perfect world, a wider wingspread would be more dramatic, but still a nice capture.

    It looks like for once you had enough light!

    Cheers

    Nice and sharp but not crazy about the pose and wing position.
    Still, a technically difficult image to get. These martins are hard to capture in flight,

    As a father of five and muppet aficionado, I totally see it. Admire the difficulty of getting this speedy poser. This one put a smile on my face. TFS
