Excellent shot, Paul! I like how your Cyber-shot held focus on the bird. The needlefish are really unusual looking critters.

Terrific capture, biggles! Very nice work.

Superb shot, Scott! Excellent sharpness.

Beautifully captured, Bill! This shot really pops.

Thanks Mike.

You've captured some quite lovely under body/wing lighting there Mike, with the perfect wing extension position. Top shot.

Cheers
