    Great BG, light and sharpness Manos. Good to have both heads in the same plane so they are both sharp at f4 - great timing

    Hi Manos,
    I'll echo Tony's comments and add that the colors are nice as well. Would've liked to see the complete wings is all I can add.

    Gorgeous Birds! A good behavioral shot that is sharply focused and has a nice background. I too, would prefer to see all of the top bird's wing. I would be extremely excited to have taken this image. Well done!

    Super Manos. I like the crop myself- the missing wings add a feeling that you are peering into the scene through a window, as if you really shouldn't be there! We have some great birds in North America but rollers take some beating! Love the graduated BG, behaviour, sharpness, lighting.

    Great shot Manos! I agree with John that the crop gives a feeling of intimacy and all the techinal details appear to be right on.

    Cheers!

    Hi, you should not have been looking Manos :) Excellent technique but the wings cut off just spoil it a little for me, a little canvas on the right would help me out though :)
