Hoping to get some RTHIF but had to settle for these. They always fly 'away' from me . Hope you like them anyway. Thanks

Beautiful pics Dan.
Maybe you should approach them from the other side
Or go to Dick on Aruba's website and read the interesting article there by Morris on how to sneak up on your prey!
Cheers,
Martin

These are really, really nice Danno.
Good light, great BG, nice manly perch, well composed, with beautiful color and detail.
#1 is my favorite of the two... but just barely.
Nice work buddy.

Way to go Dan!! These are really nice, love the coloring in both. The pose in the second is a little more appealing to me

Two fine images, Dan. Clean, well exposed, with natural looking colors and with a pleasing bg.
