Bill:

I like the two different gaze directions, gnarly perch, well exposed. Having them lower in the frame reduces the apparent shooting angle, which is good.

Cheers

Hi Bill a very cool image with the two birds in the frame and looking into separate direction , well timed !!!

Light does look being harsh at the time of shooting and you did quite well , in getting the contrast under control .
WB does look off for me , would check that !!! AS the shadow area is quite blue ....worth to have a look again .

Nice work , TFS Andreas

Cool the birds are looking opposite directions. You handled the light very well. Nice vertical framing.
