    Wow, great BG to make them jump out of the image at you. Both in the same plane gave your great sharpness on both. Only thing I would like to be different is better separation of the right ones beak with the neck of the left one. Perhaps you have that one too.

    Thanks for posting this image of these gorgeous birds.

    Nice pair and nice pose. The BG really works with these guys. Agree with Robert regarding slightly more separation in the right guys beak. There may be a slight halo around the heads. TFS

    A sharp image of 2 gorgeous birds but count me in the more separation camp.

    Harshad;

    Very nice interaction here, BG, sharpness and exposure. Agree about the separation of bill and neck.

    I might trim a sliver off the top, some might feel that would lead to too square of a crop, but I would look at it to see what you think.

    Cheers

    WOW. A simply beautiful image. The birds just POP off the monitor. I have no problem with the seperation mentioned.

    Wonderful shot, Harshad. As has been said, the gorgeous birds separate themselves nicely from the BG. Detail looks very good on my screen. I might be tempted to crop even tighter on top and left to allow them to fill more of the frame. Super image, and I envy your trip to the Serengeti. Hope to see more.

    Harshad, those are the strangest cats I've ever seen :-) kidding aside...what a shot. terrific DOF work, sharp, well exposed....killer image.

    I think this one wud work better with same amount of space on both sides of the bird. IMO, this one calls for central placement.
