Nice action with a neat wing position. The pipefish looks a little sandy but still adds interest. A little hot on some of the whites on the body, but not to bad. Nice capture.

Thank you David, I knocked down the whites a touch

Nice action shot, Frank. The repost is an improvement.

Good timing on this capture. Repost is definitely better for the highlights. I've never heard of a pipefish before. Always learning something new here, lol.

Nice action with the sand being kicked up, and yes, the repost looks better on the whites. Not sure what your techs were but the subject is suffering from a bit of motion blur on the face. I also feel the image could use some clockwise rotation. The pipefish is certainly a nice element to have here, cool shadow of it on the far wing.

I like the shadow of the pipefish on the outstretched far wing. Action is very good here. Critical sharpness is not. Dan's right about the motion blur. I think the whites look to muddled in the repost, actually prefer the original in that regard.

Liking it's umbrella like wings, nicely timed shot and the Pipefish is a great addition. Repost has improved the whites and I wonder if a little more sharpen on the head would improve yet again
