    Damn. I wish there was a word that combined both the words “Arial” and “acrobatics”. It’s a shame the world will never get to experience this.

    Sorry to pedant, isn’t it aerial? Arial reminds me of the Little Mermaid haha. And is also a font now that I looked it up.

    But the photo itself is great. Like catching ballet in flight.

    Is this not digitally altered beyond regular post-processing? This is a single photo? I will actually die of envy. This photo is ridiculous.

      As far as I can tell, this is legit. Searching his name shows him as an action photographer turned wildlife photographer, with a good number of other pics tagged with his name.

      This one of 2 Shorties 1 Vole is also very impressive and I saw it on a few sites that all attribute it to him.

        That’s even worse. I could devote every waking moment to photography and still not catch something like that. Just incredible shots, I am in awe.

          We never know what life will bring us. It may not be double owls, but you have just as much chance to capture something great as anyone else!
