Exceptional series Harvey... an impressive morning light show... I think the third drake shot is my favorite of the group... lovely work as usual.

Excellent series, Harv. I think I saw one of these today, too far to be sure and way out of camera range.

Harv, I think I've said this before, but you've prompted me to say it now: If you were to teach a course, I would eagerly be your student. Excellent shooting again!

Harvey, these are wonderful! My favourites are 3 and 7, but this is a great series all around.
