Nice action shot, well framed.

[Doug Brown]

Wise choice of aperture for two birds, both of which are sharp. A bit more eye contact from either bird would strengthen the image.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Hey Frank, you were fortunate to witness this! Good comp, and nice separation between the action and the BG. A few brighter highlights could be tamed around the female's face. Odd to see such a dilated pupil in bright light!

[Marina Scarr]

Great action captured and love that light. Would have wished for a bit more eye contact.

Agree a bit more eye contact with the male bird would be icing on the cake,but you must be very pleased with what you got,excellent action shot .

Keith.

[Bill Dix]

Good choice of aperture, nice pose and background. Very nicely captured, Frank. More eye contact would have put this over the top.

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Frank, great eye level perspective here, and good DOF with both Owls nice and sharp. I like your comp with placement in the frame.

[Satish Ranadive]

Magnificent image. Beautiful moment captured. Very nice composition.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Very unusual image I like the composition and the colours very much, just wish for a slightly better eye contact.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the composition, sharpness, behavior and BG. Although more eye contact would be better I think its more natural that they are not looking towards the camera. Excellent image Frank!
