I'm Lew, and I've just joined the forum. I'm looking forward to some friendly give-and-take on a shared interest. I've been into photography since buying my first Nikkormat during the Vietnam War but I never took the time and effort to get good at it. I use a very basic Nikon D-60, not for the price and features but mostly because it can use all the old Nikon F-mount lenses collected over the years. I learned early on to appreciate manual settings so it in not an inconvenience. The old lenses are heavy but have superb glass.

Lew,
First, welcome.
Second, Thank you for your service.
Third, WOW. Sharp focus, action stopped at a very unusual and interesting point of the flight, exposure is great.
If this is cropped at all you might want to leave a bit of empty space to the left of the frame for the subject to "fly into". Although this is one where centering the subject is NOT a crime.
thanks.. Rocco
