Great you got both birds with dragon flies. It would be better if the rh bird's tail was in full view and that would free some space vertically. Can't make sense of the lh bird's pin tail feather. Is it a shadow or is it a double feather?

[Daniel Cadieux]

Amazing interaction, and amazing that both have a similar prey...cool!! I do wish for more room all around, and I can just imagine both individuals with the wings wide open. Having said this, a very appealing image, great background and colours. Well done!

These images really make me jealous, well seen and taken

[PhilCook]

Agree with Richard, I'm jealous too, I very rarely see these birds without traveling hundreds of kilometers...sighhhhhh

I to wish to see the tail of the right hand bird, but lack of that is well and truly made up for with sharpness and wonderful with both wings spread wide....and both with lunch...enviable indeed

Hi Colin, Thanks for you feedback, Those are two feathers. :)

Thanks Daniel, would have loved more room around too, but this is a full frame image. :(


Thank you Richard & Phil... :)
