Very cool Rense.

Did I just hear Tippi Hedren scream?

Real good action here. #2 with the wings at their forward stroke is rarely seen. I like them all.
Thank you Bruce! They had to stand still in front of the deck, waiting for their bread...

These are just fantastic shots. Did you process through HDR? They have a painterly quality about them. Also wondering how you managed to make a 10-24 look like a telephoto!

At first I thought they were CGI like movie shots. Wow.

Fine set. I especially like the synchronized flyers in the second photo. Took somewhat similar photos about 40 years back from the rear of a ferry - M and I taking turns with the camera versus tossing up Fritos. When we used that ferry again recently there were very stiff fines if you're caught feeding gulls (about $500 as I recall). Aside from sanitation problems, the gulls eventually got bold enough to swoop & snatch at sandwiches, hats, or anything that caught their fancy, including things in the hands of small children. Fines for feeding wild animals of any kind are ubiquitous now in "The States."

Excellent work! 2, 4, and 5 are my favorites.

#2 made me do a double-take. The 2 birds in the foreground have their wings and heads positioned almost identically. I took a closer look to check whether the birds were cloned during editing.

Incredible - I still don't see how these photos could be made with such startling clarity. I wish I had your mojo, man.

Rense, dag gonnit, we are on vacation and I just don't have time to do more than scan some of the latest photos on this site then I saw these. I just can't get over them. Fantastic is too tame a word. The first four especially. Wonderful.

Awesome. I think part of the beauty and wonder in them comes from the soft gray of the in-focus cloud background. A perfect backdrop. Somehow, it is also interesting that, head-on. They are all using their right eyes, head left.
