    Default Hot pursuit

    Dowitcher chasing a marbled gotwit. action happened so fast I didn't see what happened in the finder until I reviewed the image on the LCD, it's amazing how these birds can maneuver at these speeds and in wind! Hope you like it.

    Amazing! AS usual, tack sharp. I love the action portrayed. Great BG. No nits at all! Great light. All the boxes are ticked for me,
    Love it

    I do like it. Great to see the two species side by side like this. Sharp with great light and super juxtaposition of the two with similar wing angles.

    A super action capture! Love the bg and great under wing detail. A difficult image, that is superbly captured!

    Very well done!

    Hi Arash, getting both in the frame, and both in full focus is an achievement on its own. Both sharp, well exposed, and good to see the different colours of both species.

    Arash, incredible shot. Excellent angles and wing positions on both...which is way harder than one and even one is hard :-) that and eye-level with great light and BG.

    Minor point....If mine, I'd clone out whatever is peeking through right at the bottom edge under the godwit.

    Great action shot, Arash. The light and DOF are perfect.

    Incredible shot Arash. To get two different shorebirds with such great poses, nice bg and light is amazing.

    Beautiful frame Arash! To get two species in flight looking so good in the same frame is no easy feat. I might clone out the specular highlight on the Dowitcher's bill.
