Due to the presence of other shooters I wasn't able to get a low as I'd have lived for this day's shoot. But, despite the higher than desired angle and the failure to capture a full top wing display...and... the slight shadowing of the head, I was quite happy to grab this fella grabbing another fella in this light. Much better than my prior attempts at "this" shot. I think Dorian can relate :) Shot is pretty much FF so not many cropping options, but at least to my eye a center crop looked/looks best. IQ is a bit better than displayed here at the rich color palette required a reduced IQ setting (in PS).
Still considering the removal of the water shadow in the upper left and the top blob of water on right edge. Your thoughts?
