Tut, Tut, Tut Brian you're going to have to stop paying people for compliments :lol:

Now, I would compliment you (again) - but like Bandit, I can't find the words - so Outstanding will have to do for me too. :D

Edit: I just noticed this is my 100th post. :)

Lovely as usual Brian. You make macro look simply too easy, when it's not. My fave images are "Ah food spotted 8-oclock" and "Final approach". One day I'll get a hoverfly, one day I'll get a flying hoverfly. Until then, all I can do is enjoy yours and pxl8's images.

Out did yourself one these didn't you Brian? Excellent captures, all of them, something to be proud of here huh? ;) Got a question for ya though. I noticed all the details given on the approach but on final did he "call the ball?" (Any naval aviation peeps out there?) Opps! I guess this guy would qualify as rotary wing though. :D
