Hi AL - stunning - love the flowers in the BG, Tack sharp - nice work with the 2X.
Amazing :)

[Fabs Forns]

Extremely sharp and killer BG.

[Dave Mills]

Hi Al, Very nice! Sharp, nice wing position along with a pleasing backround...

Tough to focus on, did a great job with 2X on. excellent BG, I find it tough to make an appealing image of an incoming BIF, this one is an exception for sure!

The eye looks very sharp with a nice gliding flight pose. What I like most is the background, the orange OOF flowers look so amazing.

After seeing this, I thought of throwing my camera away :D. Incredible sharp capture Al...these guys are so fast to start with.....combine that with a tough background, head on flight path and then throw in the 2X on top of a 500.....all I can say is....WOW !. I am still trying to get a good horizontal shot of one of these.

Wow, you nailed this one, with a 2.0 X to boot! Good Show!!! That BG makes me want to jump in the car now!

Love the setup, ISO 1000 - love the MKIV images. Have you tried the auto ISO function?

This is a very challenging angle - well done.

[Alfred Forns]

Yes Jeff and like it as long as I set the limits !!! Works well !!
