    Great to have two in the frame. I like the angle, action and setting. I would sharpen the bird on the right a bit more and tone down the highlights.

    Amazing to have 2 in the frame, Kirsten. Water detail and BG good. Side lighting is challenging on these black and white subjects.

    Super action captured Kirsten! Great timing. Feel the IQ is lacking a tad - was this a big crop?
