Very nice action indeed. I can see you would get a buzz out of this.

Wow what awesome action, you really captured a peak moment with great positions on both animals. This is a case where I feel the image would be stronger with the subjects more centrally placed. Specifically, I'd crop from the right so that the space between the tail and the frame edge is the same on the right as it is on the left. You could take a bit off the top as well. I think if you could make the sky less "washed out" it would make this really sing. A couple things to try (not necessarily additive) would be increasing clarity (in Bridge) or Structure (in Viveza); increasing the saturation in the blue in the sky; or reducing the exposure a small amount in the sky. This is a very cool capture and with just a bit of tweaking I think you might get a more spectacular result.

Really like the one looking at you.
I agree with Cindy, just a little more editing would really help.

Clicking on the image to bring in the darker surround really shows this excellent action capture at its best!

On first view with the white page surround it appears a touch washed out, but the 'click' shows its fine.
