Great shot, like the fact the wings are captured on the downstroke, just skimming the surface. :toast:

Nice shot phillip. Nice exposure too OC's can be a pain to expose for.

Phillip,

Great Shot :toast:

I like the way both birds are in the down stroke, it makes for a pleasing composition.

Was this taken at Leighton Moss, I notice you get there a lot?

I'm hoping to spend Friday up there.

Lovely composition and timing Philip. The reflections add to it too.

Just a great flight shot - especially the poses/dynamic of the birds - comp a bit central for me but not sure what other crops you could do?

Hello Philip
Excellent flight shot.
I have been having e-mail trouble for a few weeks, and tried to get in touch, can you let me know if you have sent me a message recently or received any from me?
Best wishes
