    Awesome action captured in this image and good exposure, lighting and composition. The water droplets are a wonderful bonus too. The blur in the wings adds another great dimension of movement. Well done !!!!

    The thumbnail doesn´t made justice to this excelent image. Love the action, light and angle. The high shutter speed allowed to capture that fantastic water droplets that adds a lot of motion to the image. I only have just a suggestion: to clone out the OOF reed at the upper left corner.

    Great shot!!!!! What dynamics, here. Drama. I agree with Juan. If not clone out, create a layer and select the OOF portion; feather it by about 6 pixels and then use guasian blur; then blend. Great work!!! ;-)
