Quite hard to follow acts like Danny and Pete but as the third member of the crew here's one of my explosive efforts too! I know the third eyelid's up - there's loads of shots where this happens and generally it just looks unpleasant but on this image I think it actually helps as part of the behavioural story.
As has been said there may be lots of action here but it's still hard to get your shots especially with a "slow" 1 DS Mk2 that is (unless you know how to use it!!)!
Also working with a new and not properly calibrated monitor yet so hope the colours are ok.
That's a stunning shot Mark and right up there with the very best of them.

This is what it's all about Mark. Such an inspiring image, this is the one you want on a massive canvas above the fireplace, action amazing, the colour is fantastic, very well done.

Nicely taken Mark as Justin said up there with the best of them!

Hi Mark,
We really are being spoiled, another superb Osprey shot!
This is a beautiful image, how often do they approach you head on. To catch that seems incredible.
The V-shape in the wings is marvellous.
