Nice work...those little buggers are hard to shoot..they move so fast.

Vin, another great Barn Swallow and who would ever think that Ospreys are your favorite subject. All this time I just thought you were shooting blue sky and those raptors just happened to fly into the shot. You know kind of like me and Iguanas, I shoot trees and such and those dang Iguanas just keep showing up in my photos. Great job buddy.

I like how that osprey's tail is lit up by the sun

Wow Vin buddy, the first one is outstanding especially given the speed at which they fly, so well done buddy and the second one has great contrast and composition and the lovely frame enhances the photograph even more. This is excellent work bro.
