Another one for my favorites, Marcus.
You should tell us (UF friends) when your macro project is finished. I, for one, look forward to it.
Thank you for your very kind comment on my "Composition in light."
Best regards,
Rafi

Thanks Den, I wanted to tell you that your comments to me are the best that I recieve period. I always look foward to them and am never let down by them, even in what i consider a less that good shot you can find good things about it and it does not go un-noticed as I will dedicate my next shot to you for taking the time to always find something of value to say. I wish I had that gift but i do the best i can. Thanks again.
by the way, I didnt know what a the BOAC Comet was but I looked all over the internet and I see what you mean..
Take Care Den.....
Marcus.

What a wonderful in flight shot, Marcus. Magnificent detail! Even his expression looks like he is going fast. He has everything cleaned up and tucked away and he's making time! Anoher great addition to your collection. Best wishes and thanks for your generous comments, Larry.

Again nice drifting on the air; I specially like his head- it?s so sharp and detailed; here we can see how well built for flying they are. Keep posting your art; best regards, Pawel

Den Thompson   {K:30432} 8/11/2005
Marcus, what can I say about this exquisite capture. It is one of THE most remarkable images I have ever seen. You say he was going so fast and that comes over loud and clear. The head and tail are so streamlined and his eye is focussed straight ahead. In addition to this, photographically it is 1000% (yes 1000) perfect.
You won't remember this, but the bird reminds me of the first jet powered airliner - the BOAC Comet. That plane had such sleek lines just like the head of this fella.

'Only got 4 shots off...' Most people would have been lucky to get one decent shot!

This is a really good capture. A wonderful sense of power in flight.
