Impressive different between the 2 editing programs, Vern - this version is definitely clearer.

Really good catch Vern, there's not much body, all wings and legs.

I really like this leaping photo. Those skinny legs must have a lot of power!

Nice shot Vern. It's very dynamic to see them spring into flight this way.

Good action shot, Vern, with the nice details of the water splash. I also like the angled lift-off which makes the image more interesting.
