The Black-winged Stilts perform this short lovely "dance" right after mating.

Cropped from a horizontal, nearly full frame vertical

Not much to criticize here. It's amazing! Dance is the word that came to mind before I read your description.
Wonderful subject matter, composition, and colour.

Hi Ofer, I like this very much. The interaction between the two is very nice. I like that there is eye contact from both birds. Good angle of capture. The whites look good to me and I like the background. All works for me. Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Ofer - Fabulous shot here with the dancing pose and perfect light. The water and background are just beautiful and the bird color, including the legs, is right on. A+ and ready to frame. This shot inspires me to get out and take pictures!

I love the way the eyes line up on the vertical, wonderful moment captured here.
The composition looks a little too centred, it looks good but a wee bit more space in front would make it IMO.

[Ilija Dukovski]

That is lovely, great exp, both whites and most of blacks details are there.
Nice BG too. Very nice capture overall.

Very beautiful interaction, excellent position on both and whites exposed very well, I'd sharpen a bit more. TFS

One of the most difficult birds to expose and you have done it to the 't' !!! Just too good !

[Krijn Trimbos]

Gorgeous comp and interaction here Ofer! The BG is really nice as well! It seems like the back bird is sharp, but looking at the catchlight makes met doubt that a littlebit, maybe doing some eye work especially around the catchlight might enhance sharpness. Otherwise a shot I wish was mine!
