well I don't have anything to say. Simply zapped by the commitment it takes to bring out such images. Indeed there is a lot to learn just by looking at your pictures and reading your blogs!

Phenomenal image Ganesh...Lots to think about and learn from your images. Thanks for being continuous source of inspiration

I know exactly how it feels standing on top of that hillock and waiting for bats that passes by! 10-15 minutes is the window time and you spend the entire day planning for it. The real challenge is maintaining the same level of commitment and patience and not to mention about frustration that creeps in! The effort that has gone to make this image is just astounding. May be my words fail how much ever I write here. Kudos for the attempt! Bows to your never give-up attitude.

Thanks friends!

Saurabh, tech details of the image - Nikon D300, Nikon 70-200 f2.8 VR lens @ 70mm @ f2.8, 1/250sec, ISO 1600 (ran neatimage, wish I had D700), Manual flash control using SB-800, cropped for composition, time : ~6:38pm. Hope to write a short blog on this experience in the near future..

Having personally stood in that place watching them fly above your head trying to analyse how to make images of these beauties - i really know how difficult it is to come back with a satisfactory image of this kind. I would say that your ground work and planning before you have executed this shot is outstanding. An image which def deserves 3 cheers from my end.
