Aerial Combat (Village Weavers)
Was lucky to capture these gregarious birds during the mating season. The male builds the nest and the female demolishes it if it's not up to standard. Fun to watch and even more fun to photograph...This was not a set-up and the birds were not fed. They love to strip the leaves of the palms in the garden and sometimes they have a quick quarrel-it only lasts few seconds...I had no time to change my settings. The green BG is the palm behind them, its leaves blowing in the wind-a welcome blur.
A bit too colourful and some blown highlights, perhaps I should take the RAW image and re-process-is it worth it, in your opinion? I re-sharpened it to post but now it seems over-sharpened to me. Just wanted to share it, the PP work is clearly not good enough, I am kin to redo it if you think it is worth the effort.
