Nice action and great wing position on the one bird also nicely composed and BG. I know I am asking a lot but I do wish the beaks did not merge and the image as posted has some artifacts from the jpeg conversion in the BG.

[Steve Canuel]

Nice light, interaction between the two, and the BG color really goes well with them. Nice looking birds.

A mankwe perch wouldnt look the same without a couple of PK's. Great interaction Dave, and in sweet light too. I like the wing position of the PK at the back, and both nice and sharp.

Stuart said it all, Dave, well captured & worth being there so early.

[Stephen Earle]

I love the light and intensity in this pic. Great bg too.

[arash_hazeghi]

love the interaction, nice and sharp. I would crop a bit tighter omitting empty space to the right, there are some color blotches in BG as a result of NR/compression. TFS
