Great pose andsharpness, and interesting shadows too. Nice detail even in the shadowed wing.

Great action George. I love the beak shadow on the wing. Am I reading that right (f2.5), you got a lot of depth of field for an aperture like that. Great stuff.

Cheers, Paul Randall

P.S. Please put in the species name as I like to know what I'm looking at.

a little lower angle would have been killer, still lovely timing, details and pose.. congrats

Cool pose, excellent shaprness and exposure on the sunlit part of the whites.

I might try bringing up the shadow areas both in the water and the right underwing.
