Captured this last fall when these cool little speedsters came though my area for a few weeks. Had quite a few fun evenings shooting these guys as they wheeled around catching flying insects.
I like this pose with the wingtip in the water, hope you do too.

what a great image David like how the wing is touching eye contact only thing could be done is to get the chest hightlights down a bit
but still a great one
Thanks Derek for the comment, appreciated. I kinda thought the highlights were a bit hot so I toned the down a little.Thanks
Repost is great David
I love these sort of shots, the timing is just great...one day hopefully I'll be able to get something like this. To be honest i cant see much difference between original and repost...both look much the same to me, which means " looking great " I am a little undecided with the crop though, I wonder if more space on the left or/and more space all round. It's a tough one to decide on....so if it pleases you as it is then it must be OK
Repost works nicely for me, the wing touching the water is what makes it special to my eye
the head turn is also there
wonderful image David
