One with a catch and one about to catch one. Nikon D 500 and 80-400 lens at 1/2500, f/8 and ISO 500. Cropped to about 50% of original. Richard

Good timing on this one to get the bird and its prey in the same shot and in nice focus.

I agree with Alan on this one. I like the light. Wish you could have gotten a little closer. Where was this?

Allen: trust me, the insect in the frame was pure luck . These birds return to the same perch and I was trying to capture them as they took off and landed. David: this was on the Zambezi River in Zambia. Richard

A very neat composition and great action, Richard. On my monitor, it looks like you could come up on the brightness a bit. Detail in the birds is excellent.
