I'm afraid I don't have many Eider frames from either of two Iceland trips, other than the several that I've already posted. Not the perfect wing positions, but I liked getting the tandem drakes in focus.
Individually the back bird has better wing position, but in tandem like this they look good with alternating poses. It helps that you were higher so we can see a good dorsal view of the front bird.
Composition is good with the vegetation at bottom. Comments on the blacks noted and otherwise could only with the rear most had a touch more visibility of the opposing wing.
I actually prefer the wing position of the front bird. The plus of being relatively high is the nice dorsal view of both birds. The negative is that being high brings up the detail in the water.
