Didn't quite get perfect head angles -- oh well next time.

Comments appreciated :)

I like this. Great comp. I do feel its a bit underexposed. Still great well done

[Daniel Cadieux]

Very nice. I like the comp, and the intimacy implied. I would have wished for a bit of separation between the bill tip and neck. I have never seen these birds in real life, but are the yellows a bit strong?

[Ramon M. Casares]

Beautifull image, great vertical comp, lovely detail, color, BG and stunnnig exposure control. COngratulations!

[Dan Walker]

Love the interaction here. Agree with Daniel about bill tip/neck. Great image

[Stu Bowie]

I like the interaction in this, and I feel the exposure it just fine. Lovely detail and colours shown around the eyes. Very well captured Lance.

[Rob Drummond]

Another beauty lance - it's a great place isn't it. Really like the interaction between the two birds and the soft background.

cheers Rob

The fantastic fact about this image is that the
lower bird is looking at the top one's eyes while
the top one is paying attention to the camera.
Here's a perfect "love" photo. I actually think
that the head angles are just right.

Cheers, Ilija

Nice composition but the yellows are too saturated.

[Wayne Ellis]

Lance I really like the way the birds blen into the bg. Has an artistic feel to it. Cheers mate

[Gerard Satherley]

Fantastic image Lance. I love the composition, colours and detail. I'll have to pay this place a visit.

Hi Gerard - surrounded by electric fences and guarded by guarddogs these days.
