Lucky to get these two on the same plane.

This one is stunning! Great pose, amazing light, terrific BG, outstading light and colors! I see a light halo arround the wings and heads but that could easily be corrected. To me this is just beautiful. Big congratulations!

Dave, Great looking image. Love the two together. Nice BG and lighting. Well done!!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the eye contact, open bills and setting and a similar wing position would have made it even better.

[Dave Barnes]

Super capture with both birds pin sharp. Nice comp and great colour. Both with open bills a plus.

[Stu Bowie]

Great double, both in perfect focus, and both well exposed. To capture them, with open beaks, a huge bonus. Well done.

[Kobus Tollig]

This is so super. Great colours and sharpness,
1 small thing....I see some halos around the wings...very small.
SUPER well done. Thumbnail does not do this justice

Dave:

When I first glanced at this, I thought, wow, nice composite! Even better that its real!

Halo noted. I like the BG, fixes their environment without intruding. Maybe the tiniest bit more room to the left, but works well as is.

Congrats.

Great image.. Loved the similar pose of the subject.. very well done.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Other than the halo around the birds this is a stunning image. Love the open beaks and BG.

All been said, just adding my well done to a superb image - you did really well in getting both birds in flight and sharp!
