Hi Stuart: I love the action you have captured here. The angle is just right, as is the light. Love the position of the wings. The only thing that bothers me is that I don't see any feet. I love that little water drop!

Nice light and nice action, Stuart. Did you make it up to Titusville? I guess the foot is in the water, but it does look cut off. Why won't these lovely creatures cooperate fully?

Great posture and light Stuart, but the sharpness would have been better if you used a faster shutter speed. I also notice a halo around the wings?

foot reclaimed

You caught this one with good light and nice wing position. It looks like you did some modification of the background brightness that left a slight halo and the wings appear a bit soft. You can probably fix the halo and the wing softness is not that big a deal, but the missing feet, however, really take away from the image IMO.

found feet on the next image

Stuart the repost with the second leg showing improves the image. Since the willet is in water no feet does not bother me
