Dave where is the photo?? regards
Thanks Loukie, I was still loading the URL. Now sorted.
Well done. Sharp. The EXP is right on. Love the rear bird. Wish for a better angle into the left-hand bird with a better head angle.

Really like the interaction and the details in the whites.
Wicked interaction! I can only imagine how much even better this would be with a better head angle of the front bird, but I understand in situations like this it doesn't always happen. I would crop the left down to the same proportion as the right - with the two subjects facing each other you don't need more open space on one side. I love the water trailing from the rising feet!!
Ditto Arthur but still great shot well done Dave
Awesome interaction and exposure so well handled! Ditto head angle, but we cant always get what we want. Well done!
Thanks for the comments and crits. They are noted.
