Pair of Sprig

[Chris Hansen]

A pair of Pintails sit on a log in the morning fog. The male is banded.
Lighting conditions were foggy in the Sacramento valley this am for a little while.:)
All CC appreciated.

God's precious light to all,

I really like the interaction between the two. I'm not sure if you photographed this as a vertical or horizontal and then cropped but if I had a choice I think I might like this one as a horizontal.....at least crop some of the empty space at the top. Lovely complimentary BG for them.

Can also add Chris love the head positions and look !!! Would suggest increasing contrast a bit since it looks a flat Great light for this one !!!

[Rosl Roessner]

I like the interaction between the two birds! Great look!
Do you have one with the mirrored birds completely in the picture? This could be interesting too. I would love to see one.

Nice pose captured between the two Pintails I agree with Alfred on a boost in contrast would really help this image.

[Maxis Gamez]

I have to agree with Al. This image needs more contrast. I have mix feelings about the composition. I wonder what it would look like in horizontal.

[Julie Kenward]

I also agree that a horizontal might be better - I feel like the tail on the left side is pushing the frame a bit with all the negative space on the right.
