Super image, great exposure. You may wish to consider blending in the circular highlight in the centre of the frame.

[Bill Dix]

Excellent capture. These guys are extremely tough to expose properly, so that you can see their eyes. Looks like you had some of that good Icelandic light. And to top it off you got two nice poses. The center highlight is a bit distracting.

[David Roach]

Love the perch and the pose on both. Perfect EXP with great detail in both the highlights and shadows on both birds. Also love the view inside the mouth. Nice BG, already mentioned central highlight not withstanding. TFS

[Colin Driscoll]

A good shot in nice light, nice fine detail. Agree on obliterating that highlight.

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Thanks Jonathan, Bill, David, and Colin. Think when I was working on the image in post it didn't look as prominent. Does look better blended in.

Like the poses here. The rock perch is a bonus. Solid background.
