Hey Maxis, Wonderful image! You caught the action perfectly and your exposure seems right on to me.

[Stu Bowie]

With both in opposite directions, the central placement of the two works well. Good interaction, exposure, and both nice and sharp. Well captured Maxis.

[Steve Maxson]

You have a winner, Maxis! A great interaction in wonderful light. Good exposure and colors plus excellent sharpness on both birds.

Absolutely great shot, really captures the moment! The placement in the picture frame works really well to accentuate the drama of the scene.

[Dave Barnes]

I like the interaction captured, always makes for an interesting image. looks very well exposed and processed. Well done to get catch light in both the birds eyes.
