    Excellent interaction captured, Mike. Exposure is perfect and so is the comp. Love the bg which seems to suggest a colony?
    Very cool image.

    Superb interaction shot Mike. Could be my monitor, but are the whites a touch hot?
    Cheers, Greg

    Nice moment captured, beautiful image, Mike. I like having eye contact with both and the fine details of the beaks.

    I love the composition you have here, Mike, and the curving lines and tension. Whites look fine in terms of exposure, but I could see a bit more detail teased out. Such a great interaction you have captured. I'm curious, do you know which one is the male?

    Terrific interaction and composition. The eye contact really makes the image.

    Although there is not much detail in the whites, the comp is superb, and it has a very nice soft feel to it.
    The eyes do make it!

    Love the interaction above all. Whites looks good and they look white. Love the composition you chose.

    Touching moment...almost literally, but I do like the slight seperation between the bills. Great head angles.
    Nice composition. Exposure is spot on.
