Bill:

Lovely interaction, tender moment.

Well exposed, perhaps a bit more sharpening on heads.

I would consider cropping off about 1/2 of the free space above the heads.

Very nice story telling.

Fantastic image, Bill! I am very partial to capturing moments like this in nature! Top notch work!

[Lorant Voros]

A moment of nature captured; very nice interaction. I agree on a bit more sharpening on the head. Very-very nice.

brillient action captured,superb catchlight and great symetry

[DanWalters]

Really like the warm light and the position of the birds. Like how the red eyes really stand out.

[Markus Jais]

Great action wonderfully captured. I like the colors in the bird, the catchlight in the eyes and the symmetry between the two birds.
