Great high-speed shots, Purps! Ya gotta love the high shutter speed flash sync! Well done...especially at 400mm. You must have been able to see that flash from space! Thanks for sharing.

Wow Rick, these are absolutely awesome, so much detail and yet so well frozen in time. This is outstanding work my friend. You should be so proud of your work. Nature at its best. Well done.

Dave.
