Catch me if you can!

These two Marbled Godwits look like they're finishing a race, just about to cross the finish line. Some of you may feel that the OOF bird is distracting but I think it works here, due to the way it's position mirrors that of the in-focus bird.

It works for me! I like the BG too, but would fix the darker area in URC. I like the difference in curves in the two birds' bills (I believe this is how to tell the sexes apart in this species?)

I like the similar wing position, framing and light.

Nice separation and wing position captured . Sweet Shot!

I'd probably try to remove the plants from the lower right corner as I find them a bit distracting, but other than that I love the poses, colours, BG and compo! Congratulations!

Fantastic image Doug, works for me in every respect!
