Very nice! I like the two in tandem. The one on the right appears to have slightly dipped its wing into the water, which is really cool.

Great shot Rick, perfect timing on the shot, and a little cropping would do this photo wonders, but I like it even as is. TFS

Great capture Rick - I also noted the dipping on the wing on the right. Patience is needed to capture these types of shots - well done. Cheers, Bernz
