Very nice angle and landing pose. I might crop a bit off the bottom and lighten the underwing with S/H if it does not introduce noise.

Nicely done with a great head angle and pose. What happened to his buddy??? The body feathers look as if they have a slight reddish or magenta cast. Overall, well done.

Beautiful timing Bonnie and excellent detail . I have seen them do this so often and you captured it perfectly !!!

Nice one Bonnie. Good detail in the body and underwing (I like the amount of shadow). I agree about taking a bit off the bottom and also think that removing the wake from the other bird would add a bit of "drama" to the landing bird's own wake (especially the bow wave of his feet).
