    Nice one Jonathan! I really like the interaction and the frozen speed in this photo. Nice soft light, great bg and nice comp. I do wish for a bit more eye contact with any of the bird and that the left bird was more in focus. I would also try to brighten the right birds eye a tad.

    Nice image Jon, I also like the interaction between the birds. The light makes the birds look very nice, infact they look 'silvery'. Good work.

    I like the interaction here, the low angle and the light. Pity that the left bird is not in the plane of the 2nd and it is out of focus. Maybe plan a catch light in the right bird's eye and lighten the black of it? TFS.

    Thanks very much everyone, I agree with your comments, beleive it or not I have already done eye doctoring work - even on the one on the right, maybe I should have put an artificial catchlight in.
