    Its a beauty, Jimmy! The only thing I might do is crop it tighter.

    This is really superb James! I love the way you have captured the position of the birds looking at each other and how all the parts- heads, wings, tails, are visible and not overlapping. Also I really like the BG with the smooth gradation to a lighter tone in between the birds.

    Terrific action in a great setting. I like the crop, if anything, I may make the BG warmer.

    The silhouette's of the two birds have formed some amazing shapes, and against a lovely coloured BG too. Well captured.

    This one has so much more then our every day images...
    A small halo is noticeable, the BG on the right side is a bit too bright.

    Terrific silhouette James! Love the action. I'd warm up the BG a bit.
