    Excellent capture, Raul! Love the motion implied in the male's wings. They are difficult birds to process, aren't they?

    The female looks like the princess she is!

    Very nice action here. Love the wings spreading and the perch.

    Great perch and having both in the frame is a big plus. It looks as if the male is just flying by. :) I might have increased the ISO for a higher shutter speed.

    Hello Raul,

    Splendid picture of those birds!!!

    Your choice of aperture f/6.3 is excellent in order to let us see both birds perfectly in focus... I, too, like the wings motion and I prefer you speed (1/1000s) for that reason...

    Thank you vey much for sharing that great moment with us :)

    Awesome capture Raul. This one as everything including the snail. Excellent work and a most pleasing composition. Love it.
