Hi William! Like the details, colors and wings position of both birds. The interaction of birds could be better it looks as two separate frames and I know you cannot mange it. TFS.

Cheers,

Nice capture with a really nice BG. The techs look good too but I do se what Miro means about the interaction but it is what it is. Well done

Hi William, great double here, and looks like the kite has his eyes fixed on something below, thus unaware of the raven above. Killer BG. Hope you captured the following interaction.

Well caught William, a really interesting image, I will have to pop over to Gigrin before long!
