Very interesting birds, with a good background, excellent sharpness, color and light. It would have been over the top if the bird on the left had only looked more toward you.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Norm said my thoughts exactly. Still love these images though

[Marina Scarr]

Love the poses as presented. This is mating behavior and had the left bird's face been angled toward us, we wouldn't be experiencing the behavior. I would like to see both heads sharper.

[Trey Barron]

I too like the pose as is. I would take a bit off the left to match the right side. Great job catching this behavior.

Nice mating moment captured here but I am not sure about the composition, it felt unbalance.

I am loving each frame of this series

[Don Lacy]

Wonderful pose and I love the low perspective just need a touch more sharpening and I am loving the larger posting size

[Karl Egressy]

Excellent interaction image, Jonathan. Great IQ and pose(s).

[jack williamson]

Your grebe images have all been great. I like the poses just like they are, the low shooting angle works well.

Very nice pose and good fullscreen. Could use some more sharpening though.
