Great feel to this frame, nice pose and the angle makes the FG abd BG look great.. the open bill adds well..

[Ofer Levy]

Lovely action and interaction captured! I find the BG slightly distracting and would consider cropping a bit tighter. Did you use NR as the image looks a bit too "smooth" to my eyes.

Great action and composition here, the LH bird looks away from the camera but straight toward
the RH bird that performs nicely for the viewer, perfect in this case IMO.
