Way to go Nate! The downwing position is nothing short of superb! I love it. Sharp as and well composed. All in all an awesome flight shot!

Great BIF capture. Looks nice and sharp for what I am sure was a quick little subject! Nice job.

Nice full down stroke Nate. I like the comp. and the fact that the near wing is almost touching the water.

A spelendid flight shot Nate. Love the rich colors, sharpness, and flight position. Really well done on a tough in-flight target.

Nate I love the details and colors and especially the wing tip just missing the water! Well done!

A very sweet flight shot, Nate! Exposure and wing position are perfect in showing off the feather detail.

Excellent flight shot Nate - especially like the wing position and eye contact; and it's sharp. Good view of the upperparts too.
