    A very cool shot Dobromir! Great exposure and of course excellent action...having both faces showing is a bonus. If your photo ethics allow for it, I would remove the bit of bush merging with the right bird's tail. All in all, I like it a lot!

    Cheers!

    Great timing and action. Removing all the vegetation and a square crop would give a dramatic look and highlight the interaction in the image.

    I like the soft light, details and interaction. I can see Tony's point regarding the vegetation but I don't find it distracting.

    Excellent detail on both birds, and well timed to capture the interaction. The vegetation doesnt distract.
