Hi Mike....Wonderful shot!......yes, I can feel the love...I like the diagonal composition, good feather detail, and clean bg..Congrats! You might consider lightening the upper wing of the left bird

[Julie Brown]

Michael, I really like the interaction captured here. The pose of the bird on the left really shows the wing and feather detail. Nice shot!:)

Hi Michael - love the interaction - Good HA on both birds - exposure looks good.
Big Congrats - Lovely.

Michael, Nice nature shot love the interaction. I use incident meter from time to time too, this is close to sunny 16 as well.

Nice behavior captured. Do you have more room on the lower right hand corner?

Good example of correct metering for egrets, love the details in those whites. I like it as presented and would not touch a thing. Excellent! interaction is a big plus here.

Troy, on this shot, I have some room on the right but not below. I do have some room below from other images in the sequence.

Just trying to get some feedback on whether to add some canvas below or not.

Thanks.

Hi Michael, You captured a nice moment with good light and detail. I like it as is but would be curious to see the image with more room at the bottom...
