Hi Bill,
super courting behavior captured, exposure really shows the black details, nice composition, id like a little more top if you have it.

[Raybel Robles]

Nice image, with a nice composition of the two birds. I do agree with a little more at the top.

[Alex Becker]

Great shot -- another vote for a tad more on top. Love the look at both eyes and the details in the blacks.

[Frank Schauf]

Fantastic scene and great light.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Absolutely eye grabbing image, I like as presented, would consider a trim off the base??

[Bill Dix]

Thank you all for looking. Here I've added just a little to the top. I didn't want to trim the bottom for fear of losing any more of the "virtual birds".

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Wonderful capture, Bill. Love the interaction and fine feather detail.

Geoffrey
