    Because of lightening the background from very dark mangroves to this above the clouds look I felt it would be best to post this image here instead of the avian critic. This image was taken from very far away and it only represents less than 20% of the image. I shot it in raw and enlarged the entire image before cropping out the two fighting birds. Not a ton of editing just lightening up the background, and slightly adjusted the right birds head to face the other birds face. You can still see the sand in the forground, the inlet, and the mangroves in the white area. The finished image is printed to 11.5 X 16. Thanks Rod

    Rod, This is stunning! I love the details in the wings and the aerial fight. I wish the one head was not covered partially by the wing, but I'm sure you wish the same. The tone on tone coloring is beautiful to me. This reminds me of one of Fabs images. Below is a link

    Rod, this is stunningly beautiful. It has a very delicate feel to it in contrast to the agressive behavior. And I
    love the bg:)
