    I love this one, Jon. Super IQ, the lower bird has a great position, but happy with the upper bird too. Eye contact with both. Well done.

    Great interaction captured. Lower bird is excellent. In a perfect world the upper bird's bill would be clear of the wing, but when was the world perfect.

    Head position of and light on the bottom bird is mega. The top bird? Not so much. Still pretty neat. a

    Gigrin Jon?

    As Artie mentioned, bottom subject very cool, Just wonder if there is too much above, and I'm not sure if the green adds to the overall comp? Is that a DB in the V of the top body?
