Thought I'd jump over to this forum. This image was taken last fall using a multi flash setup with a remote trigger.

I like the curves you captured in this beautiful image!

[Jeff Sorbie]

Great Catch. I love the wing detail. I know how hard it is to catch these little guys sitting still and catching one like this is great.

[Danny Laredo]

Great capture. I would try and warm the temp a bit. otherwise excellent capture and flight pose.

Hey Gerry,
Very nice wing position and BG. Did you try lightening the rear wing by the bill a touch.....just to make it stand out even more.....just something to possible try. Fantastic all around.
