    I am not a Vikings fan but the image is definitely a show piece great detail and the BG shows the locale well

    Excellent landing shot Jim. Love the pose and environment. I'd run a little NR on the BG. What are your noise thoughts of the MkIV?

    You got the purple very nicely, no question about that.
    With a better BG, this kind of action shot is a competition winner.

    Super action captured here Jim. The timing on the pose is perfect and the light and detail look spot on. The bg is where these fellas live so there isn't too much you can do at times. Sorry about the Vikings. Things could be worse you could be a Cleveland Browns fan like me.:p

    Love this shot the way it is. Wonderful colours, light, action, pose and habitat.

    Great effort :)

    Spectacular flight shot, and I love the touch of red in the blossom in the LLC. BG is a bit overwhelming, but does show his habitat nicely. Sorry about the Vikes, but then I was rooting for the Jets.

    Very nice composition, in-habitat with spatterdock. I would wish for less overcast sky to brighten up the colors. As a UF alum, I had hoped to see Percy Harvin play in the superbowl but it was not to be. We'll be seeing a lot more of him in the years to come! Perhaps Tebow will get to apprentice under Favre? I'd like that.
