    This is an awesome behaviour and action shot!! Looks a bit dark on my monitor. Here is a repost with some S/H applied - how does it look to you?
    Cheers,

    Very neat interaction! Good low angle and details. I love that they both have material in their bills. I would have liked the grebes lower in the frame and would consider toning down the bright diagonal reed behind the heads. I like Ofer's repost as I thought the image was dark too.

    Interesting ritual, and I like the similar 'standing up' poses. Ofer's repost works well.

    Very nice capture, congratulations! Like Daniel I would have liked more empty space above the heads. Another vote for Ofer's repost.

    Thijs, wonderful behaviour captured here. Like the identical HA and water droplets. The repost brings out the detail nicely. TFS
