Two sticks at once pretty neat. Love that background. Nice framing.

I love the scene and the lichen-laden sticks to the nest. Beautiful BG. I do feel the highlights are bright as posted, and I would crop up from the bottom just enough to hide the man-made planks. Otherwise, fantastic! Looking forward to the young ones I bet!

Hi Dan, I also love the scene. Ditto Dan's comments regarding the crop and brightness. Thank you for sharing.

Lovely capture!
Great timing getting the flying bird with a nice wing position and the carried branches without intersecting with the lower bird.
Nice background, light and details too. I agree that the highlights are a bit hot.
Regarding the crop I feel like it would be too tight if you took some of the bottom but it would benefit from removing the man-made platform too.

Love it...I would crop the manmade stuff..then add canvas to the bottom.

Terrific landing scene. I agree with toning down the highlights, but just a tiny bit. And likewise, a tiny crop off the bottom.
