What a great shot, to capture him performing. I am not familiar with this bird but you have displayed his markings really well. Well done.

A rare moment indeed! The tone of this photo is both calming and exciting. He does seem to be performing, knowing that he is beguiling. One can imagine he is taking off OR landing OR in between. Excellent snippet of time and movement.

Great shot! Love the character portrayed as well as framing this beauty in motion. Great light, lines and natural tonal draw.

Looks great! It reminds me of Snoopy in "The Peanuts" cartoons when he is skating about. Is this right before take off?

This is so good. It looks just like the bird is ice skating. Love the blue tones in the birds feathers. It is bluer than the ones we have here in Florida. Focus is very good. Framing is well done.

Wonderful action shot of wildlife. The subject is sharp and clear. Good technique to capture at this time of day. The sun is reflected on his face? Thanks for sharing this shot.

I wish that I had six stars to give you. The bird looks like a clumsy ballerina to me. The picture is priceless, and I love that you've caught this guy in action. Very well done! :)
