    Great interaction portrayed Kobus, with vibrant color on the 2 birds, the BG sky looks a little too intense however.

    Neat subjects and excellent interaction.

    HA isn't perfect, but I don't think it matters here...the interaction between the two KF makes the image.

    The sky does look too dark on my end and perhaps you could lighten the underside/ left side of the uppermost KF a bit?

    Hey Kobus, great interaction between the two, and both nice and sharp. Comp works well, and overall, well captured.

    good to see you back online Kobus. :)

    Well captured moment, I wish to see more from this series! Agree with Jim regarding the lightening of the underside of the wings of the left bird. Very cool interaction!

    My apologies Kobus, that color did look a bit unusual for sky.

    I agree it looked like sky. Welcome back Kobus.

    I only wish the perch was not broken. Great interaction here.
