I was out shooting the colorful autumn leaves when these two "crafts" came in for a landing:

Well done kirbinster, location check, colours check, focus check, reflections check, lighting check, these are great. I hope you're saving a few back for a further stunning installment, what a great series

Those are great! I love the angle of the "feet" on the last one and imagine if landing gear isn't in the "correct" position how he would probably cartwheel down the water!

Fabulous! The last one is the money shot for me - totally sharp, great composition!

Sir, I have seen your flickr share, but after seeing these I could not resist myself to write few words.

Your caption selection is attractive.
Selection of location Superb.
but all of the above is the timings.
In all the image the reflection in the water is mind touching.

I am a new baby in this field, these are my mind touching point.

OUTSTANDING!! Very hard to pick a favorite out of the set. The first one is simply beautiful...the colors, the reflections...it all comes together. The last three are just plain cool...almost comical. Something about those big birds landing on water...just cracks me up. Especially when the landing gear isn't down quite right!

Bravo!

Great Action set Kirbinster! I tried last weekend to get a sequence like this with some Geese, but the focus was just too blurry! Yours is very clear!
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Superb images! Great capture of the action, super reflections, landing in tandem with military precision, and beautiful fall colors to go with it. Excellent job!!
