Dan, nice action captured. I like the wing position and the "frozen" water droplets. Maybe clone out the reflection of the legs as my eyes keep wandering down to them?

Dan, I like the reflection cast on the underwing, and good control on the whites. His catch a bonus. I would take some off the bottom. Well captured.

Hi Dan! Like the action captured here; good timing! The side lighting is a little tough, but you've made the best of it. I would crop the reflection off of the bottom and take some off the top as well.

I also like the action. Catching it with the prey was a real plus. Doug has covered other observations/comments.
