Nice catch Guy and sharp in all the right places. I keep trying to get a shot like this but usually with a mounted 500mm. I see you used a 300mm handheld - much easier!

Sharp where it needs to be, and full of drama. A cracking shot.

When you really look at them aren't they just gaudy and over the top yet sometimes we only give them a fleeting glance.
Super fine and lots to lookk at.

Excellent POV, capturing the power generated by those wings. Great action shot.
