Symmetry

[Kirk Benson]

The Tern was diving for fish (obviously missing his target) and the Snowy Egret was chasing him away. I love the symmetry of the two birds, I love the light coming through the near wing of the Egret. But, wish that there wasn't so much shadow on near side of Egret. Anxious to hear if this image works for you, thanks very much for looking.

To be honest, the light isn't ideal - quite harsh, and from a not so good angle. The action is very good and I agree about the similar poses, very cool. I would crop the subjects bigger in the frame to bring the action closer!

Hi Kirk Fully agree with Daniel Particularly like the timing, the water being kicked up looks real good !!!

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Great timing and excellent action . Ditto the above comments. Thanks so much for sharing.

~I don't feel light is harsh but I agree about the light angle not being he ideal, poses are great as moment and sharpness, I would frop a bit from the bottom. Congratulations!
