Very interesting shots.

The first one is almost abstract....it takes a minute to figure out what it is....then you think it's got to be a new species.....I like that effect.

The second one of skidding in on the water....you must be very proud of that one. I like it when I find a photo that I want to keep looking at and feeling the motion in the photo. Just great!

Well the last two...I tell you they really do look prehistoric. It reminds me how ancient birds are in some respects.

Thanks for sharing them.

Nice captures, Like the swan skiing across the water and the third one reminds me of the concord coming in for a landing (~;

Exactly what came to mind when I saw that one.

There all great shots. I particularly like #1 - grass in front of it and all.

Nice series

I like the first... looks like a difficult take off or landing strip for such a bird

Well done that first one is unique I like it and that second one is stellar. Excellent series.

I really love the landing (watering?) swan shot! Great series in all!

Wow! The second image is a beauty, great colours. I really like the framin' and unusual composition, the birds reflection really balances the image too.
