Number one is without doubt a truly outstanding, and as far as I am aware, unique photograph. A pleasure to view. Thank you.

In view of the sad and untimely passing of Simon so suddenly just recently, I thought I would just like to say what a post to 'sign off' with.

Some fabulous action, some surreal light and an Eagle or two.

Blue skies, big man.

Us Reapers were proud to have you as one of us.

RIP Simon.

Very sad news. Simon's picture threads were always worth checking out.
Theres no doubt, his photography was top quality, and this thread is no different. The first shot seems very poignant.

Great tribute to a great guy. RIP Simon.... Our thoughts are with your family

I love shot 1 absolutely brilliant

In shot 14, it looks like the birds (top left) have created a heart shape in the sky. Very appropriate for a great guy

Captain Scarlet is indestructable, you are not! Remember this, do not try to imitate him.

Having never met Simon, by the posts on here, he was held in high regard. This last set of images is a very fitting swansong.RIP
