    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.

    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.

    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 !

    Great image. Very nice pose with amazing eye contact. Stuning background ... it conveys the vastness of their environment.
