    Hi Juan, good behavior image. The exposure, whites and blacks look good on my display. The image feels a little tight, maybe more room on the right and left. Thank you for sharing.

    Nice capture with the full wing spread and mouth open on the top bird. I like the background as well.

    Ooh, this is so appealing! Perfect exposure, great colours, and the head-on view of the behaviour is excellent. Yes to being a touch tight left and right, but this ticks all the other boxes for me.

    Thank you for the comments. Added some canvas and applied a selective color layer to the background to make it more "ocean blue". What do you think?

    Yes! The added room has paid off in spades! Just careful with the wingtips, a bit of blue subtly clouding over those now. I could go with either as far as colour goes.

    I wasn't careful enough, here's the repost with the blue from the wingtips removed
