Ken, I like how the wing of the EG follows the curve of part of the tree. Good interaction between the two, and I can hear them from here. Noisy characters for sure. Would maybe bring in from the right a tad.

[Art Kornienko]

Love the action and the light. Would have been nice to see a bit of separation between the bills.

Ken:

Lots to like here. As mentioned by Stuart, the wing curve and matching perch curve very appealing. Soft early morning light, shadow of left bird on breast of right.
I might try to very gently tease out a bit more detail in the dark area under the wings.

Agree with Art about the merge.

Oh, by the way, agree with Stuart about the crop from the right.

Cheers

Randy

Nice interaction. It could go brighter IMO.

[Gerrie van Vuuren]

So glad I can't hear the racket. Ditto Stu on crop.

[Pieter de Waal]

Nice action captured , these guys are fun to photograph allways some action with them around. I like the crop but would also like to see the image a little brighter.

Thanks for all of the comments, I hope I have not jogged to many bad memories;)

Luckily our local flock has been strangely silent of late:D
