    Ken:

    This pair was putting on quite a show for you.
    Well exposed. Although merged, I think the front bird is distinct enough against the white of wing/sky to work.
    Wish I could see a bit more of the rear birds face. Like the open bill, but a head turn either way might be more engaging.

    The large broken trunk projecting forward on the LLC is a bit distracting.

    Cheers

    Randy

    I really enjoy the story this capture portrays. The composition and perch both work well. You have nice light and good exposure. I like the way the rear bird's right wing is enveloping his partner and the red legs and feet really pop. Well done!
