Love the action and the blue/green strip. And the perfectly lit underwings.

Very handsome frame, with nice bright whites and beautiful Ft. Desoto background.

I love the action here, and beautiful colours. I would not be opposed to a bit more room above, but works as is as well.

[John Mack]

Solid frame. Low angle and the pose are nice. Like the water droplets here.

Love the bright whites and that strip of blue-green at the top of the frame.Water droplets are nice.
I am with Dan on this and wish the head was raised a bit more to give some eye contact.
