I captured this image on the Oregon coast south of Tillamook. Shooting against the sky, I could only see the birds in silhouette, so was pleased to see the warm brown tones and underwing patterns revealed in the image.

I like the similar pose and exposure.

[Fabs Forns]

Good exposure and nice similar poses. There seems to be little detail in the plumage, and maybe sharpening the faces would help. Thanks for sharing it!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Poses and eye contacts look very good. Another vote for more sharpening. Did the sky really look like this or is there a color cast?

[Arthur Morris]

Balanced color, cropped, and sharpened. There was a huge yellow/red cast...

If the repost does not look 100 times better I quit.
