Excellent pinpoint landing. Fabulous photo sequence!

Jill said...

These are outstading! Breathtaking, really!

Faye said...

First off, your new header is excellent, especially like the font for your blog title--almost like rusting ironwork. Was that the idea?

And as for the landing, those "pleated" wings are just amazing in all stages of the landing.

A wonderful series Brian... and your title sums it up so well..

TexWisGirl said...

beautifully done - both by the bird and by you.

(google reader and my reading list widget didn't pick you up today, but i'm guessing it'll take a day to sync up and recognize the feed again. my own post wasn't picked up by reader until 3 1/2 hours after it posted.)

Yes you did! You did great!! This is a difficult shot to get. Did you use a really small aperture? Just curious what your settings were. Thanks!

Brian this is a stunning series, so crisp and clear, absolute perfection! Now if the bird would have missed his/her landing that would have been hilarious! lol It's amazing to sit and watch just how graceful most birds are.

Have a wonderful day, cheers.

The simplicity of a landing suddenly becamea a complicated, yet beautiful, sequence of motion. How very beautiful, Brian.
