Now that's a winner Darryl! A true stop action capture! I love the wings going straight up & the talons(?) almost touching the rocks. Amazing clarity too. My fav's! Thanks :))

I think it's more than that. I've done stop-action before but my images didn't have the impact this one has. The crispness and the contrasting colors look really good and make this image stand out amidst the crowd.

Love the title! The whole body positioning of the bird is in full mode. Sharp enough to see the mussels on the rock. Great wing spread. 10/10!

Looks like a scuba diver rolling backwards off the boat ... no?

you paid this bird to make repeated landings .. if you look close you can see that he's looking at you in that way kids making commercials look to see if mommy is happy with that take

my faith in nature photography is shaken

Absolutely stunning. Everything (that's important to the image) is razor sharp. I want your optics and your eye. Just the right timing. Everything comes together for a 10 image.

One of the better captures of how dynamic and powerful flight is. I assume this is the 100-400 IS lens. Getting more than your money's worth out of that puppy!
