This is another image of the European Wryneck. There was one moment, where both of them were sitting on the same trunk, showing their special pose, with the head up and neck streched.
I wish for a better seperation between the two heads, but in this image I have the best Head Angle of both.
So, you take what you get and because this is a rare bird and I never seen it before, I am really happy to have both of them on one trunk....
I was not able to use a smaller f-stop, because I had beautiful but low evening light.
So the image is far from perfect, but special for me....

Great find, interaction and setting. I don't mind the overlap at all, it actually adds to the image. I might put them a bit further to the right in the frame and lighten the BG a tad. You could also try to selectively sharpen the head of the bird in the back. Thanks for sharing!
Lovely image Rosl! I would crop some off the bottom and move the birds slightly to the right in the frame. Don't particularly mind the dark BG. Congrats on a nice photo!
Congratulations Rosi on this rare find and superb capture. To be able to photograph the two together is really awesome and I love the pose. Agree with the above comments on cropping. Many thanks for sharing.
