    Sharp from one tail tip to the other. Great pose on both and nice low angle. Love the head feathers. Maybe a small amount of work on the left birds eye would maybe be only suggestion. Good luck on that dance. Can't wait to see it... TFS

    Jon:

    I like the interaction, exposure, subtle but not bland background.
    Dof for both birds on this type of shot is almost impossible when they are so far out of plane with each other, but still the interaction makes it an engaging shot.

    Good luck on getting a chance at the dance!

    Interesting image. I wish for better light.

    The eye in the left bird also is not optimal.

    I would increase the vibrance a little. Hope you get better opportunities with this pair...

    The interaction is nice and i like the composition. The light is what it is.
