Up Up and Away

[Michael Stern]

Hi,
In Everglades National Park, Just happen to be at the right place when these guys went at it! Taken from the car window, no time to do anything else! Lost some whites could not help it- Photo taken almost 12 Noon! Their discussion took a total of about 1 minute! Not sure about leaving bottom trees in?
All Comments and Suggestions welcomed...
Best,
Mike

Perfect timing even if the light was harsh ,you cant afford to miss an opportunity like this one when it occurs

Action well caught and it flows so well, Mike !! Don't find trees at bottom a problem as it serves somewhat a point of reference.

Great interaction, Michael. Light looks quite harsh. I would probably try a version without the trees and maybe crop a little from the left to decentre the birds a little more. Sharpening haloes are a bit prominent, especially around the legs

Excellent behavioral shot, light was harsh but you managed well, agree that sharpening halos are hurting IQ, would redo the processing.
