    A+. Great composition and interaction. I like that the sticks and twigs repeat the color from the underside of the beaks. Wonderful job!

    Love the interaction between the birds along with the comp and nice lighting, While I expect some convergence with the subject and branches in this type of image I do find the one seeming to grow out of the second Herons back A bit distracting.

    I like the interaction, poses and setting. Maybe a slight crop off the top. There are some artifacts in the sky, maybe due to jpg compression.

    Hi Stuart. It was a pleasure to meet you this past weekend. I see the two chicks at Wako are getting bigger and cutting up on the nest. I like the way the cypress have leafed out and add so much to the image.
    Great interaction. I have mixed feelings about the leaf on top of the back. I might try getting rid of it and seeing if it improves.

    Hi Stuart,
    Lovely action shot - I would crop some from the bottom of the picture.
    Best,
    Nicki

    Nice interaction of the twins, Stuart. It could go a little lighter on the sky. Branch is OK with me.

    Experimenting with Fabs' suggestion for the sky. I like it.
