    Excellent action captured.Very nice poses with beautiful colors,head angles,details and composition.
    Very nice to see two different species in the same frame.

    Looking very much like a fine art drawing with the light grey backdrop, stunning detail and amazing action image. Really cant see anything much worthy of mentioning to improve, except maybe if both heads were ever so slightly turned to the camera...but that's a very minor glitch a sthe rest of thr IQ overrides anything else. Curious...what was the backdrop and was this a set up shot ?

    Neat image! Really does look like an illustration. I'm assuming the flash is what allowed you to freeze them at such a low shutter speed? Who knew? (probably everyone but me!)

    Killer interaction you captured here. THat must have been some set up with 8 flashes! Personally wish for a more natural BG.

    This is a kind of image I dream to have in my files. I also dream to have 8 flashes and some other extra gear:-). Some more natural BG and colors would be nice to have as Marina mentioned, still it is a killer image.

    Oh wow! This is a stunning, dynamic shot. One of those that you think about capturing but never quite time it right. Well, you did! TFS!

    Outstanding! All your work for the set-up really paid off. Everything looks great. I really like those little feet! Tiny birds with the heart of an eagle!

    Really like the composition. Agree with Marina about the background, though. Did you crop out the nectar source or remove in PS?
