What a great story this capture tells, Conrad. You caught it just right b/c I love the female's position and how her talons are outstretched in the upward position.

Super action shot. The effect of the females' talons would have been lost in another fraction of a second. Great timing or a touch of luck, doesn't matter it's still a terrific capture.

Thank you Marina, I only wish I had more of the sequence. The MkIV is too slow for this action!
