Great work Jim, the Perigrine shots are outstanding and especially like #8

Super Tern IF's and that head shake is fantastic, sweet timing! Love the 2nd Grosbeak shot, excellent compo

Nice collection Jim, the Grosbeak (#3) takes the prize for me.

Excellent series Jim.

I'm going to make my way down to Florida and sign up for one of your flight schools.
Beautiful color, pose and perches on the GB's. Super detail and lighting on the Terns.
The Perigrines are over the top.

Excellent set Jim

I agree with Jay - excellent.

# 3 is actually my favorite - - I just love how that one turned out for you.

These shots rock Jim! Awesome shots of the Peregrine fledglings such an impressive bird and with a very unique coloring to them. Two very fine Grobeak shots, I like them both equally

Terns are exquisite with a nice catchlight in each defining the eye nicely.

Very nice indeed, Jim.

The Blue Grossbeak is spectacular, particularly a broader framing in the second shot.
The first falcon is fabulously dynamic and has a great background, the last two are fine in every way.
A few suggestions

:

(1) I see some bluish tint on the 1st falcon.
(2) The diving tern should have more room at the bottom to dive into.
(3) A looser framing on the tern #3 shot would make that nicely photographed bird seem less boxed in.

You owe me $23.87 US for this review, I take cash only.
