    This one is stunning! Great pose, amazing light, terrific BG, outstading light and colors! I see a light halo arround the wings and heads but that could easily be corrected. To me this is just beautiful. Big congratulations!

    I like the eye contact, open bills and setting and a similar wing position would have made it even better.

    Super capture with both birds pin sharp. Nice comp and great colour. Both with open bills a plus.

    Great double, both in perfect focus, and both well exposed. To capture them, with open beaks, a huge bonus. Well done.

    This is so super. Great colours and sharpness,
    1 small thing....I see some halos around the wings...very small.
    SUPER well done. Thumbnail does not do this justice

    Dave:

    When I first glanced at this, I thought, wow, nice composite! Even better that its real!

    Halo noted. I like the BG, fixes their environment without intruding. Maybe the tiniest bit more room to the left, but works well as is.

    Congrats.

    Other than the halo around the birds this is a stunning image. Love the open beaks and BG.
