I like 1 and 3 a lot. But I am partial to birds of prey, so #3 is my fav. Beautiful, faultless feathers. And a stare right at you. Some may find fault with the wings being in the down stroke but I don't. The birds stare is the center of attraction.

#1 is very nice
#2 is a stunner and is getting a nom in POTM

And I hate you for taking #3!!!! Do you have any idea just how many shots I've wasted on trying to get shots of Lanners in flight?? Bloody hundreds!!!

Number 2 is definately my favorite! Number 3 is really, really nice too! Great shots!

great series. You did great on the falcon. I also know how hard it is to get a good picture of them. I think you are a miracle maker

Wow, all 3 are beautiful!! I'm partial to #3 though...the stop motion and the fierce stare of the falcon really make it for me.

Just love #2 but #3 MAKES ME SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats just rubbing it in.......
One day I'll get one in flight that crisp.

oh and by the way, you have #1 titled as 'unknown' well after a few hours of research I can confirm that its a butterfly
