first and last pics are my favourites - mainly because you've done such a good job on such a difficult subject. I've tried to take similar pictures before and there was a lot of trial and error and quite a lot of luck to get the timing JUST right.... can you estimate how many pictures didn't work out before you got these GREAT pictures?

[Pixels]

Nice captures of difficult subjects. I think the third is my favorite for composition and depth of field.

[bodegaeli]

Thanks for the nice comments folks! I took a dozen shots over half an hour and kept five.

[eldruida]
