    I was lucky enough to get these in one frame. The angle was very steep though and the lighting was also harsh . I shot this hand held as had no time to take the tripod form the boot and set it up .


    Shutter speed 1/1000
    Aperture F/4
    ISO 400
    Lens 600MM L IS USM
    Camera body 1D Mark II N
    Hand held

    C&C welcome

    Great double, good exposure and light...The BG looks a bit patchy though, looks like cloning patches... Still doesnt detract from the subjects, the eye on the left Bird is great.

    Good job on the blacks Ram, and a good double. Pity the guy on the left beak is slightly behind the the other beak.

    Well done considering the conditions you had. Great looking subjects. The image seems a bit soft , perhaps from a big crop??? Then again , it's not easy to hand hold a 600.

    Some days the top of my head feels like that!

    I like the symmetry of them.
