Great action captured. They're really going at it. To my eye the OOF rock in the center detracts from the power of the image. If you're inclined to that sort of PP work it wouldn't be hard to remove.

Ouch. That's gotta hurt! Excellent action captured and the flying droplets add to the drama. Perfectly timed.
Agree with Bill about the OOF rock.

Uri:
Excellent action captured.Love the pose,colors and details.
As mentioned by Bill Sir, I have quickly removed the OOF rock and cropped slightly at the bottom.
I hope you will like it.

Regards,
Satish.

Rock or no rock it's a great action packed image, he/she loks like he/she is trying to pop out the eye on the underbird......great opportunity well captured...has the WOW factor.

Satish, thanks for removing the rock, looks much better . I'm working with Nikon capture Nx which is not capable of such processing.

Great action captured. Love the flying droplets and the intensity of the action. I hope the end was not so dramatic.

Terrific action captured here, and I do like the RP much better b/c it really focuses on the action/behavior. Is that the bird's tail which looks blown out? If it is, it's a bit distracting but not sure there is much you can do about it. Overall the focus of this image is really on the image with the new crop, and it works.
