This is about a 10% crop. I shot this image just after the sun set. I cloned out 2 branches that crisscrossed both birds. I know the BG & Fg are very busy, but the flora was every where & the birds were using it for concealment.

I like the opposing head angles of the two and the inclusion of the habitat. Would've liked to get the whole foot but I've chopped some off of photos of these guys myself while focusing on the heads. I think this would look good as a skinny vertical (8x12).

Andrew I like this as a habitat image despite the busy BG. I also like the deep red colour on the necks of these two jakes (?).

Thanks for the comments. That is what I think about this image also.

I second the vertical crop suggestion. Excellent detail and eye contact in both and I agree with Steve I like the opposing heads in this image. Many thanks for sharing Andrew.
