    Two good HA's and like the banking positions. Exposure looks VG. Looks like you are enjoying the 7D.

    Like the showing of the back wings.
    Getting two skimmers sharp is not easy.. Good job, TFS.

    Alfred,

    Spectacular colorful image with loads of visual impact. Love the exposure and sharpness here. Also a very graphic image IMO.

    Have a 7D on order. Did you use AF point expansion on this photo? Not sure if you used an AF selection on the left side of the viewfinder.

    Thanks for sharing...

    Hi Alfred:
    I like the wings and beaks position and the colors and the sharpness you've achived. Very well done and an interesting picture.
    I'm looking forward to see more.
