Dance On Air

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Had a great day out with Capt'n James and friends on the Hooptie Deux. The winds were just right for this elegant air ballet ruckus. I just wished I had the zoom in a tad more. Cropped to about 50 % of original

Exciting moment to witness and capture!

Cheryl, lovely image. Wish we could see the birds' eyes more, but what a beautiful capture. Loi

It would have been more beautiful if you had a bigger zoom on hand surely
however i feel the image as presented looks nice, the suspended animation type image
the fact that both the birds are looking at each other creates the drama in this image for me, lovely one

Wonderful mid-air ballet. I agree about the zoom, but you've captured a lovely moment. Exposure looks good.

I remember this little spat quite well. You did a great job capturing this spur of the moment action. Whites look great. IF you have the canvas, I would add some on top and remove from left and bottom. There's too much dead space on the bottom for me.

Very nice shot of these two combatants. Looks like they are fencing and saying " touche" Repost is better comp wise. Good job capturing the moment.

Agree on the space on the bottom. Exposure and action is awesome. Almost feel like they are dancing.
