I love this!! Excellent action, beautiful light and exposure control. If anything would consider cropping a bit off the sides to make it a standard 2:3 horizontal.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Interesting moment captured, especially after seeing the previous one. The crop looks good to me and I really like the BG colors.

[Bill Jobes]

Fantastic action, exposure and sharp focus.

I might experiment with cloning out the branches at left, so the egret would appear to be jumping over clear space. Just a suggestion as an alternative look, as the image is fine as presented.

Nice moment and really amazing background colours!

Stuart:

Nice action, great background. I like Bill's idea about cloning out the left branch. If you showed the images together, then must keep the branch, but as a stand alone, might be interesting.

Whites look better on this one.

Cheers

Cool shot Stuart. Good timing to get the egret's yellow feet against the dark wing BG. Is the perch on the right the same one your kingfisher's tenderize their fish on?

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Stuart, I love this as presented but I also like the idea of cloning out the left hand branch. As already stated, the BG colours are stunning. Well caught :)

[Nico Steenberg]

Great action captured Stu. Both birds is sharp and well exposed with good colours as always. Well done :)

[Charissa]

Nice action Stu, both have excellent detail. Lovely Mankwe BG. Nice shot.

[arash_hazeghi]

very nice Stuart, both white and black birds exposed properly and nice BG. they have opposite colors and are jumping in opposite directions, quite interesting.

[Gerrie van Vuuren]

Great action capture Stu! Like the postures & both the whites & blacks well exposed.

[Stu Bowie]

Thank you all for the great feedback and comments. Always appreciated.

[DanWalters]

Great timing! Like how both birds are sharp and I really like the color of the background.

[Hendri Venter]

Spot one timing and well done to get both sharp and exposure spot on. Well done mate.
