Superb set and post processing as always Kirk. The Osprey and the sharp as a tack Black Phoebe are my favorites. Splendid job!

If this is an addiction I hope you never get help. You should embrace the demons and continue to scratch the itch ....over and over and over again. Just brilliant photos Kirk.the perfect flight shots that are accompanied by glorious backgrounds. I can only wish that I could get a single in flight as good as these.

Excellent work Kirk. The backgrounds on the first 3 are to just die for! Super clean and crisp images. Somehow eye candy always comes to mind when I look at your images and these fit that bill. The ground hugging, pond skimming, radar avoiding missile in the last a killer grab, I KNOW that one is no simple shot

Great work Kirk

KILLER SET!

Kirk, you don't need help at all nothing wrong with your "pond" addiction
I've been wanting to get a BWT inflight for a long time and you just nailed yours, great job my friend.

Kirk, it looks to me that you are doing more than fine.
Great looking set and the White-faced Ibis is my favorite.

Gotta agree with Eric...this set has me hoping you continue to feed that addiction, Kirk!

I realize how tough that last shot must have been, but it's #2 and #3 that elicit my oohs and aahs. Crisp, rich colors, soft background...there's a feeling of warmth and pleasure all rolled into one (kind of like a drug!)
