Swooping, speeding bullet, reflection and mayfly prey - all three elements so beautifully and expertly captured. I love this great shot, Debapratim! Well done!

Wonderful flight shot so close to the water, and the reflection is superb. The Mayfly adds the perfect finishing touch.

Nice shot! I bet the degree of difficulty on this one was quite high.

Very nice action shot Debapratim! I never shot Pratincole, but I am sure it is not easy to get them in flight. Just like when I try to get good flight shots of Tree or Barn Swallows...very difficult.
