This is great! Lovely light and colours, good IQ, sharp where it counts. Looks like eyes of both birds where slectively brightened and I can't figure out what is the behaviour but still an excellent image.
Thanks Ofer, I did a removal of large catchlight and a dodge on the eye. They are mating and this guy was flying in from the left to do his thing!

excellent Dumay! I only wish the feet of the 2nd bird was visible too
great action

Neat interaction, and the timing is just perfect. Great perch too!! Techs look good. I only wish the top bird's bill didn't merge wit the wing's shadow...not much you coud do there! Well done.
Yep, I remember these guys from my visit in December. The blighters didnt stop.Good action captured, and I wonder why the female has a twig in her beak. Cool Mankwe BG too.
Super stuff Dumay, great interactionBoth are very sharp TFS

Dumay, very nice indeed. You got very good angle here. That sharp head of the male is awesome.
Beautiful image! Like the open wings on the bird on the right.
I like the interaction, sharpness and perch. Well done Dumay!
