Purple Swamphen - pair

[Ofer Levy]

1D Mark IV, Canon 600 f4 IS, x1.4, 1/1000, f9, iso 500, tripod, full Wimberley

Taken this morning here in Sydney. These birds were feeding together and then got very close in what looked to me as a courtship display then together chased away another Swamp Moorhen.

About 80% of full frame

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Ofer, great IQ as usual. Loved the poses. Exposure and DOF are so perfect. Terrific BG and shooting angle as well.

[Daniel Cadieux]

A bit tight comp-wise IMO and I wish the light had hit the eye better on the left bird, but I love the affectionate interaction and the colours are fantastic...talk about beautiful greens in the water!

P.S. I love the "Moorhen Fight" video on your site...very entertaining.

very beautiful interaction Ofer, well done!

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Love the image quality, low shooting angle, interaction and DOF.
Wish for more room all around, but that's just personal preference perhaps.
Great work, as usual.
