    Really enjoy this image John.
    I like the centered vertical comp and the IQ and behavior shown.
    Really like the soft blues and greens in the BG as well
    Would love this one in my files,
    Gail

    Wow this is very beautiful!! Great comp. Love the elongated necks and the bellies touching, not to mention the sharing of weeds. Based on the concentric circles I'm wondering if the image may need a bit of CCW rotation (or perhaps an illusion, but I'd be tempted to at least check it out). Excellent IQ, exposure, processing. Fantastic.

    Terrific image of amazing behavior. Your BG is killer too. I would take a sliver off of the bottom.

    Thanks Daniel! I'll check whether it needs some rotation .
