Nice wing position and the IQ held up well from what looks to be a fair distance shot.

Nice lighting and depth of field here Patrick, I think ideally they wouldn't be overlapping, I am sure you have plenty where they aren't.

Hey Patrick, hope all is well. Nice shot of these guys. I like the opposing wing positions and the transitioning blue sky.
Only nit would be that they are overlapping a bit but not a deal breaker. Well done

Good job getting both birds sharp - someone told me flight shots should have the wings fully extended either fully up or fully down. Great timing to get the wings fully up on one and fully up on the other -- nice action
