    A tender moment. Males head anlge as good as possible. Female looks bright, male's face looks dark... A pano crop from the bottom would be a big help. later and love, artie

    Great moment captured and I like the composition better in this one. Maybe you could selectively brighten the male's head a bit.

    Love the sweet moment you've captured. Wonderful low perspective, good exposure and sharpness. Regarding composition, you could have moved the camera a bit to the right to include the male's entire crest with a little less of the female's body on the left side of the frame. I would consider lightening the male's face.
