d3 200-400 vr lens . bean bag and panning plate. amazing interaction to watch the carmine piggy back the kori ..and snatch insects as the kori disturbed them as it walked thru long grass..

Excellent! The BG tree looks great and is anchored in a perfect spot as to not disturb the action. Just enough OOF foreground to balance the OOF BG. Wonderful post! :-)

Very nice image. No nits here. Even got good wing position on the carmine!

Awesome to get them both together like this! I'm having a hard time telling if the horizon needs to be rotated.

Does a tighter crop give more attention to subjects? Well captured and nice exposure.
