Hi Binu, always fun to have more than 1 bird in an image. You had great interaction and eye contact here. i feel the image a little tight, not sure if you have space on the left and above. Loi

[John Robinson]

Hi Binu
Great action stuff with the two birds as Loi says
I wonder about the backdrop though.. I always like some indication of habitat but thats just me, The backdrop on this seems - I don't know -a bit artificial- although it is prpbably completely natural.
Just my personal view. Cheers
John

[Binu John]

Thanks Loi! I have more room on the left and top to try the crop you suggested.

Thanks John! Those are wildflowers in the BG. May be it looks artificial as the colors are vibrant.

Hi Binu. Nice action captured here. I agree with John and Loi but still has plenty of interest. Regards, Ian.

Wonderful interaction here and great focus and sharpness on the subjects. Well timed as well Binu!

[Randy Stout]

Binu:

Fun image, nice positioning of shapes in frame, balances well, great interaction.

The framing works for me because of the strong central action and forms, but a little more room on left and above would be a viable option.

Cheers

Hi Binu.
You have caught these birds beautifully, great interaction, bit more space would have been good, backdrop looks excellent to me.

Regards Keith.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Great timing. I too feel it is a bit tight. Love the action and the BG.

[Joe Galkowski]

Nice shot. The interaction is caught very well, nice timing. I like the BG and agree about a little more space. These are difficult images to acquire with DoF coverage and pose being very challenging when there are two subject. Well done!

[William Dickson]

Well done Binu great capture :S3:

[Marina Scarr]

I am really enjoying this image. There's lot to see and ponder. Fun and interesting action, and I like your centered presentation. BG is killer and I really love the "screaming" pose on the perched bird.

[Richard Flack]

Hi Binu. Great interaction captured and super BG. Agree with it being a bit tight. These are super tough shots to pull off well and you have done well! Have an awesome day. Rich

[Sharon Hallowell]

I like it as posted! Bg is sweet and sets the birds off nicely. Poses are wonderful! Great action shot! Sharon

[Arthur Morris]

Just a tad wider would work well for me. Great work on capturing the interaction. he face on the bird on our left could go a bit lighter and could stand a bit more selective sharpening. All in all, well done.

[David Salem]

Very cool frame Binu. Great interaction between the two and I like the disapproval of the bird on the right. The techs look good and I love that neat looking BG color. Well done

[Binu John]

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions! I'll add more space on left and top.

[Ritesh Nangare]

Just Superb No words to Describe this shot......great Fell to frame...

Thanks Artie! I'll selectively sharpen the head of the bird on the left.
