  Jeff- Beautiful action shot of these eget and I love how you captured the one as he goes into take off. The white of these gorgeous birds against the gree of the leaves is awesome. I love the pov and composition of the shot and how we get a feel for just how high up these birds are. The lighting and clarity of the picture is so perfect.
Outstanding work my friend.
Have a great day,enjoy.

  Balanced perfectly, he looks like he's on a high dive, ready to take a beautiful plunge! What a great shot, Jeff - timed perfectly, gorgeous color and excellent title...(you always come up with the "just right" title! :) As always, excellent work.

  Jeff, this is so lovely! Wonderful use of negative space in this well composed shot, and the glowing white birds look fantastic against the gorgeous green scenery. Nice title, too.
A winner, if I were the judge!

  Excellent timing, Jeff, and the perfect title. Your treetop comp gives the sense of the excitement in trusting your instincts in letting go of the perch in order to fly.

  Wonderful against all that bright spring green, Jeff. And the form of the limbs leading us to the birds is super.
