    I would've loved to have seen this from a higher angle, but the BG, the light and the moment are great! One more thing, I have just visited your flikr gallery and let me say that I am simply amazed by your fantastic work! Congratulations!

    What a wonderful action shot! I wish you had used a faster shutter speed to totally freeze the action of their bodies/wings but you got the head/eyes nice and sharp and you got a very nice BG. Overall composition is nice as well!

    Great moment captured, I also like the BG. The shutter speed is a bit low, maybe you could have increased the ISO to 800.

    Lovely BKGR and great timing as well asa really cool grasshopper or katydid, but having both birds titled away from you is well less than ideal...
