Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia

Very nice Stu, scene is very well lit, and processed as always. Like the way the light seems to shine through the wings, illuminating them in that way. Great work

Was it taken at Kamogawa? There are so many of them there - always circling in the sky!

Sash from Adelaide, Australia

This is really good Stu, especially the cropping.

Re: the technical aspects, I'm surprised somewhat by the high ISO. I would've thought somewhere around the 200 mark would have been plenty but perhaps it was darker than I thought when you took it? As for the shutter speed, sensational - 1/2500 if ya don't mind! :)
