    This is pretty amazing action but it is lost in this image. I would crop much much tighter even if it means losing the splash on the right.
    Excellent POV and exposure on the whites.In a perfect world I wish I could see the eye of the right hand bird but not a deal breaker.
    Would love to see more of this series,
    Gail

    Agree with Gail that a crop would help, though I love the way the rather colorless foreground blends in with the backround for rather painterly feel.

    the action is excellent and you did a good job here but the harsh light and the poor IQ (looks like the birds were too far) made it difficult

    This was really some amazing behavior/action you captured!!! I actually find the image quite powerful as it is, although I think I would crop a little off of the bottom and go for more of a panorama crop. I really like the water splash over on the right.
