    Ah, these guys will soon be back locally, if not already way out in the river. I like the double flight pose and the low angle (but I do wish the wings were fully down). I really like the strip of water that is in focus along the bottom edge. The oof eye of the far bird draws my eye there, perhaps toning it down would reduce its impact.

    Fantastic POV Geoff. Lovely detail on the bird and I love the expression on the face. I would prefer if the OOF bird wasn't there, and some more canvas on the LHS.

    Nice to get the dual birds in the shot - I like to see something different and the oof birds appeals to me (although I like Dans suggestion of toning the eye down a little). Only looking on my laptop screen, but could the main bird take a little more sharpening?

    This image is quite interest. I like the juxtaposition. It's unique and the far bird adds interest to the image.
