Excellent, Sandy. Beautiful job on the exposure and I love the full spread with a head turn and catchlight to top it off.

Beautiful pose on this one, Sandy. Also, agree with Dennis re the exposure, always tricky shooting white birds against a blue sky.

These little guys are very fast and I have tried to photograph in the past without a great deal of luck. This is a great shot with good exposure of B and W and nice detail and wing position. Very nice shot.

Stunning shot. Well exposed and sharp details. I find them difficult to catch even when they are hovering and getting ready todive.
