I was attempting to get a female and a male but instead I got two males. tough to get more than one with the right wing position :D



7D + 500 f/4, f/4.5 1/1600sec ISO 400 HH. sw: Canon DPP 3.7 Digital processing: crop and cloned out an oof butt at the right edge of the frame. hope you like it.

Arash your timing was perfect!!! It also looks like you had some great light. My only nit is the chest whites look a bit hot. Really some beautiful birds with very complimentary BG and so sharp!

[Stu Bowie]

Arash, you cant complain about the wing positions in this - you have the best of both worlds here. Both in focus, sharp, and nicely placed in the frame. Well captured.

I like the opposite wing position, eye contacts, BG and sharpness. The whites are not overexposed but look a bit too bright for my taste.

[Doug Brown]

Great wing position on both birds. I agree with Axel about the whites. I would selectively sharpen the bird on the right.

[Flavio Rose]

The image is quite beautiful and in particular the wing positions. As for the whites, I downloaded and noticed there are two rather extensive areas of almost perfectly uniform white, 246,246,246 and 247,247,247, in the two birds' neck area. It looks a bit odd (maybe only to my eyes which are overly attuned to such things) but I don't know what can be done about it at this stage.

Loved the wing position of the birds, good light, angle and details Bhai...
