    So this is how he strikes his prey. It happens so quickly. It amazes me how far his neck can stretch.

    Enjoy!

    Noelle:

    What an athlete this fellow is.
    Nice diagonal line in the comp, like it.
    Sharp,well exposed.

    Hope you print this series up and put it down a hallway, would be fun to walk along and see the action.

    Cheers

    I am throughly enjoying these images. The composition is excellent & the techs are right on to my eye. The IQ is great.

    Beautiful image and excellent timing.
    I would like a little less room on the top.

    Simply amazing series. Have loved them all, but I think this one is my favorite.

    I would give the bird a little more saturation if it were mine.

    I would give the bird a little more saturation if it were mine. I felt the same on the last one too, but wasn't sure until I saw this version.
