    Wonderful behaviour and great control of the whites. About all I might do is try a squarer crop. Great image.

    Oscar, I like this perspective of the birds shot from below. Nice action captured. Pleasing background and exposure looks good, as Dave mentioned above.

    Oscar,

    I would try a 1/3 crop (bottom of tail to bottom of frame) more from the bottom. Seems to place the birds in a more balanced location in the frame.

    Though you had strong light, the whites look detailed and interesting positions on both birds.

    Hi Oscar, agree with comments above. I like the action taken at an angle you don't often see. Good light and would have wished for a bit more separation...

    I also would like the birds a little lower in the frame and a bit of separation would have been great.

    Action is spot on as are the poses. I really like the nice contrast between the whites and blacks on the birds with the underside view.

    I wish for a separation too...and to be able to go to this place and photograph these beautiful birds. I'd crop tighter a bit and place to birds more to the right and to the corner.
