Oh Andy my friend, you have outdone yourself with these terrific action shots.
1, 2, 4, 7, and 16 are my tough choices for faves... #7 is off the hook!!! I really want to capture that action one day.
Excellent work buddy.

Kirk


Many thanks, Capt. Kirk!
All these comments about #7 are starting to convince me to frame it. Maybe one day I will.

Andy,

These are some amazing shors, well done. I have a few mysilf, though not with Ospry/Egle.Who would of thought that we would see a Bald Eagle at El Dorado for one day let-a-lone one month, this was truly awsome.We will not forget.

What an incredible series! Great job with the captions too. I think all the shots are fantastic, but #7...just WOW!


Thank you for your complement. I didn't want to take anything away from the photos by adding captions. Glad you enjoyed it.

Sweet Andy - all are great shots but my fav is #7 for the intensity and concentration and #14 for the symmetry.

fantastic series andy. looks like you covered the el dorado action from every angle. great work on #5, 7, and 16. i have mixed feelings for #6 though. love the freeze frame of the osprey with the claws out, but that out of focus photographer in the foreground is too distracting and pulls my eyes away from the action.

Hung,
Appreciate the comment.

Andy, I am trying to catch my breath after seeing all this action. I don't know how you pulled all these great shots off. Moments one can only hope to see happen. That amazes me to see the eagle pirate and then the peli going for the catch, those Ospreys just don't get a break out there do they!

Andy, your air show experience shows through here tracking this kind of action, I am impressed my friend, nice series.

Absolutely amazing.

I like #11 for the intimidation factor.

You know the sound a large passenger jet makes on touchdown when the engines crank up to slow the aircraft down? I'm getting that from #7. Awesome.

Thanks for your opinion as always, Thang. #14 is a little bit..... different, I'd say. Glad you liked it.
