A truly beautiful image - light, pose, mood, everything.

You got it!

Hi Scott.

This is NOT a montage! You can clearly see the eruption where Astro has left the water behind. There is no way I would have to fake that.

I was testing continuous AF on the Olympus E-M1 and this was the first of a burst taking them right up to me.

Thanks to you who have commented, Cheers,

Don

PS the bitch won, as usual!

There is a lot more going on than you first think. It hangs together very nicely.

Thankyou, I appeciate your comments, and looked at all your wonderful portfolios. Cheers, Don

An interesting image. very good composition, clarity and colour.

Thanks very much for your comments, John and Melissa.

Melissa, I like your diagonal comment.

These birds are a joy to photograph.

Cheers,

Don

Thanks Sergio.

I was standing on a clifftop looking down on them.

It was too windy for fishing, so they played on the wind rushing up

the cliff face.

I like the sombre mood and delicacy.

Steve, a very well constructed image. Perfect bold composition. Tells the story.

Cheers, Don

Thankyou Radu for appreciating what I was trying to do here.

I like your "too hard' image, very much to my taste!

Cheers,

Don

Thanks Gail.

I'm smiling because you have shown me I was not clear, and my meaning was the opposite. He is looking up to her; hence the rightful position comment!

Cheers

Thanks for your comments, much appreciated.

I did a version bringing out more detail but it took away too much of what I wanted to achieve.
