Nice shots though looks like you needed a faster shutter in #2

Wonderful captures. Love the colours and detail in the first one. And the flight shot with the fall colours is really sweet.

Two great images. I like the in-flight with the head in focus but yet you see some wing blur...shows movement if you ask me.

Love them! Just a tip, you can use the straightening tool on number 1... Love the colors and background of number 2.

Thanks Duane. Divers are also real fast flyers too - unless you have a real bright day, they're not easy to freeze the wing flaps.

Oops, my bad, yes, about 2 degrees. Thanks.
