It is remarkable that you obtained good focus on both of them. This is also a fascinating image of a wetland.

she is quicker off the mark than her man...such a vibrant capture, and admirable clarity right down to the spray droplets..

Perfectly timed to catch this liftoff, and I love the pose you caught on the right, like he looks uncertain about taking off now.
