High marks from me
Clinge - Yes. Thank you. Luck and timing help a lot with these types of photographs.
Great, great, great photo!!! V+F!!!
Beautiful capture! How were settings on your camera set, and what camera did you use? 
GoodOguy - Thank you for your comments. On this image I used my canon 7D -set at ISO 400 - with a canon 100mm lens - aputure at 8.0 and s speed at 1/1600 sec. - I took a number of different images at different settings. I also wanted a little bit of blur in the fast moving wings to show motion but not in the eyes. It was a fun shoot. I am glad you like it.
Why did you set it to 400 ISO? You have noise. (I am asking because I am learning
) I can see it was very fun.
GoodOguy - Thanks for asking. No problem with asking and learning. Normally ISO 400 does not produce noise in my camera but I also had the shutter speed at 1/1600. In these contests I use images straight from the camera with a little cropping and a little exposure plus or minus. I can eliminate the noise by running the image in a de-noise app. I was trying for the best mix of speed, depth of field and blur to produce an image I liked that showed the fighting and stop most action. I can clean this image up in other programs that are outside the rules of this contest. I often shoot ISO up to 800 but with lower shutter speed and when I stay around F 8 there is little or no noise. On objects that do not move I do use the much lower ISOs,
Thank you for that info, I will try in future to shoot in that settings. Hope I get good captures like you!
Fantastic shot!!!
Thank you patty.
