    Really like the pose on the bottom bird. The breeding plumage is quite nice. Wish we could see the face of the top bird. Still nice action captured here.

    Great action. Love the pose of the right-hand bird, and the breeding plumage.

    Techs spot on and yes, a killer pose with the bottom bird. The whites work out great with the dark BKGR. IQ looks great -- maybe good enough to get down to one bird ...

    I understand you wanting to have both in due to the action, but man, that lower bird would have made such a nice frame by itself! The white on dark looks good.

    Yeah, not having better attention form the upper bird is tough. The lower one is beautiful with those plumes and red lores though. Two bird frame are really tough!
