Not the sharpest images in 1 and 2 but still very cool interaction shots and quite unique IMO..Love the seamless reflection in the 3rd shot,,,very very nice.

Wallace River: Thanks a lot for viewing and kind words of appreciation, 1dx is a great camera, I am still learning.

Gary Fairhead: Thanks a lot for viewing and kind words of appreciation, I agree with you, shot 1 & 2 are not sharp, user fault probably could not keep the pace with the action as they were shot from inside a bird hide out and very limited space to move, around 10 other photographers were there to my left and right.

Very nice work Akhan, not an easy task. The Pied sure are striking birds.
