    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!

    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.

    Dumay, very nice indeed. You got very good angle here. That sharp head of the male is awesome.
