Very nice, could do with a bit more space all around. On the other hand the current crop emphasises the battle very well.

Superb Guy. I would disagree with Rene here as I feel the action is everything in this image and closing right in on it as you have done is the only way to go. A real cracker. :toast: :toast:

Cracking action image Guy . I must admit when first viewing the image I thought it was a little tight and think a little more canvas to either side would not harm the image. The flying water droplets really add drama to the image and you have handled the black and whites very well.

Interesting one.
Maybe a less tight crop could get the heads in a nice diagonal ?
No big deal. Great action shot whatever.

Cracking, better than the first image and well balanced with just the two birds works very well Guy :wink: :wink: :wavey:
