David, came across this in "Editor's Picks" and I'm really impressed--beautifully captured! A shorebird tango...Happy New Year!

Stunning Photo with a winsical sense of play I would think could be a BIG MONEY maker for you. I hope you're shopping it around. The stop motion capture works perfectly, just enough blur on the wing, but the droplets clinch it. The background is smooth with great tints. The sharp eye and beak draw you right in. LOVE IT ! LOVE IT ! LOVE IT !

Motion is frozen in time with this shot, congrats well done

Congratulation David Hemmings, on making the Birds-in-Flight Photography 2008 Editors' Picks. Best regards, Linh Dinh.

These Lesser Yellowlegs get quite animated when fighting over feeding

territory.

That's a brilliant behavioral capture David with great sharpness and BG, congrats!

What an amazing image. The frozen action and color is wonderful. The only thing that would make it better is if the entire head of the bird on the right was visible. Great Capture, Dan

 

 

The background colour is amazing and really compliments the animated moment of the birds – a bird’s version of a mud fight (brilliantly demonstrated by freezing the droplets of mud)! I think the fact that you don’t see the head of the one of the birds (turned away from the viewer and partially hidden by its feathers) adds to the drama of the image.

Fabulous shot.

Excellent capture David
