Hi Craig,
This is simply superb capture... beautiful light and details.

A real stunner of an image Craig. Great poses and sharpness on both birds. I like the cocked head of the leading bird.
Hi Craig, good DOF on both, sharp, and I like that both are captured with full wingspreads. Of course, great separation from the BG.
Stunning image, Craig. Love the poses, sharpness and the bg. Great work!
The BG is the usual stunning GC! Love the poses of both.Tack sharp as well. Love how the head of the lead bird is cocked thus showing us the beard.
I find the image a bit oversharpened but no one else has mentioned it so perhaps it is me.

excellent dorsal view and great to get both sharp and with a good HA! sharpness looks good to me
What a killer image with great details, pose, colors. Love the cocked head on the front bird,
Fantastic image!
Great image,sharp,nice light,nice flight pose,I too like the front birds cocked head.well done.
Thanks for your comments folks - Much appreciated :S3:
Lovely image! However, IQ is not great - looks oversharpnened to me.
Wonderful flight shot with very nice BG.Love the tack sharp both juvenile and parent.I like the beard.
Craig:
Wonderful to get them both in the frame and within DOF. Great BG, light.
I am in the oversharpened camp on this one. I might try a version with the sharpening backed down a bit.
Fine capture.
Cheers

Stunning capture, Craig. I like the way both have almost identical wing spreads.Not often one gets two in a frame.Very well done !
Thanks for your comments Ofer, Satish, Randy and Arno
Great image. Very nice pose with amazing eye contact. Stuning background ... it conveys the vastness of their environment.
