Troy:

Nice flared landing pose, well exposed.
I find the background just a bit busy. I might also consider increasing the contrast on the birds slightly. I know they are quite soft appearing, but I bit more contrast would help here.

Glad you are enjoying the juvies. Look pretty big!

Cheers

Hi Troy I know those birds are light but would not mind seeing a bit of stronger color (on bird) Will make it stand out from bg better .. .also not sure why the f8.0 brings bg too much into play, here I take my chances with a wider aperture !! Good looking image !!!

Great head on capture Troy, I might think about trading off aperture to get more background separation, tough to do in the heat of battle though.
