Cassin's Kingbird "The Dispute"

[George Cottay]

Another WOW from here.

I do agree with the suggestion of a little blending on the top background.

[Thanaboon Jearkjirm]

Wow... this is really amazing.
Love the interaction given by both birds, the wing spread, how the eyes lock into one another, the serious look of the top bird and the open beak of the bottom. All of this with good sharpness, details and exposure. Very wonderful work, TFS.

[Dan Walker]

WOW, great capture.

I agree with the lower bird's eye looking funky.

Not that you had any controll over them, but I think being able to see more of the lower birds tail would have made this even better.

Great shot!!!

[Ajay Panjwani]

Definitely a dream shot.
Congrats !!!

james i would say i have never seen such action shot with such tiny birds. probably i may be very young to bird photography but believe me to me this is image of the century for me.

I am so very impressed with this shot. It is a one in a million. You must be so thrilled. You should sell it to National Geo or somewhere.

Western Kingbirds
Southern California

This is one of those shots I visualized and it happened getting both birds sharp on the same focal plane. Everything worked with a lot of luck I was very happy with this believe me.:)
