    Brendon:

    Looks like a territory spat to me!

    Well exposed, like the head angle on right bird.

    Was this much of a crop? The IQ seems a bit low, perhaps compression issues.

    Cheers

    Brendon, light is nice and the open bill pose with spread tail makes all the difference. looks like red channel might have been blown a bit in the orig...hard to expose this one correctly due to the angle of the light.

    Nice action shot Brendon. I wish for a better head angle on the left bird but I like the warm lighting.

    Nicely framed (or cropped). Too warm for me and agree with the image quality comments....
