Great exposure and interaction. Is this courtship behavior? You could add a bit room at the top and I might put them a little bit further to the right in the frame. Thanks for sharing!

[John Zimmerman]

I decided to leave things as they were, but Axel you might be right. I will keep it in mind for the future.

[John Chardine]

Ah, this is lovely John. What grabs my attention are the wings at the bottom, which really complement the image. I predict you might go back to Bonaventure!

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Simply a stunning image and love the interaction you captured . The eyes are incredibly beautiful and to have two to look at puts it over the top for me. Also like that you included part of the wings John. thanks for sharing.

[Fabs Forns]

Beautiful presentation, John, I also feel like I want more room on top, but I know how it is when you like something a certain way :)

[Arthur Morris]

Now you are cooking. A boost in SAT would increase the impact, and yes to a bit more room above. Great job of getting two good head positions and both sharp.

[Steve Metildi]

John, this is an outstanding fencing photo--nice eye contact for both birds and I like that a part of the wings are showing. Exposure is spot-on.
