How positively gorgeous! Not only did you catch the bird VERY well, but those bits of color and lines from the wildflowers compliment the bird perfectly!

I really love this one. The little splashes of blue from the wildflowers make it such a great composition.

This deserves a 10. These birds are extremely difficult to catch in mid air. (I had to correct a typo that was bugging me)

Audubon perfect, this is an amazing image richly detailed, properly framed and composed with nothing out of place and technically perfect. It has a great deal of artistic impact and is as stunningly beautiful the third or fourth viewing as it was on the first. A complete artistic and technical success demonstrating motion, grace, and beauty. Well done. Originally rated a 7, this was a mistake on the part of the reviewer because of a faulty initial impression. A 10 is in order.

Beautiful picture. I am glad you chose your shutter to keep the tip of the wings in motion. Focus is spot on
