Hi Glenn, beautiful behavior shot in good light, low POV, and good BG. The comp works for me. Well done. Loi

For composition and lighting that is about as good as one can get. Exceelent.

Very special moment!
Love these specific species and how you capture them. I do wish to see more room on top and bottom as it seems to be a bit tight there.

Hi Glenn, Great capture. I think the crop is fine. A stunning image.
Cheers, Ian

The raised wing position gives a small but very noticeable improvement on your other (already very good) shot

Hello,

a really fantasic capture in my eyes.
Greetings Eric

Great action shot, in nice soft light with pleasing background.

It's an outstanding moment in nature that you captured very well Glenn. Both birds are sharp and the background nicely emphasizes the primary subjects. For kicks, you may want to try this as an 8x10 crop which will lend itself to a more vert comp. Very nice work!
