Nice timing on the handoff Stuart. The blue BG is a great compliment for the birds and perch.

Hi Stu,
I really like the interaction and the fact that the HA is so good in both birds. I also like how each bird has an outstretched wing. The light on the perch is nice as well.I wonder what this would look like as a black and white?

Thanks Gail. Great idea on trying B&W. I will definitely convert one.
Thanks to Steve and Arash for your feedback too.

I really like both Stuart. I am not loving the vignetting in the conversion but otherwise really like it. I am in the mood for "different" these days so I am going with the repost minus vignetting as my favorite!!

Fantastic interaction, lovely light and comp. Your images are always perfectly sharp.
I too am enjoying the repost but I'm with Gail on the vignetting.

Stu - you really nailed this one what a great shot, the more I look the more I like it. The detail in the blacks and whites - spot on!
The B&W is OK, but to be honest I would prefer a straightforward B&W conversion in Photoshop, I am rather cynical about all these add on plugin jobbies (excepting Noise Reduction)!

Hi Stuart, great interaction captured here. I still need to get decent shots of these guys. Beautiful light and exposure nicely done. I do like both versions but find the B&W very effective. TFS.

Thanks a stack for the feedback on the OP everyone, and the honest feedback on the B&W version. I agree, there are many ways to create a B&W image, and its fun doing it.
-
Stuart, you nailed this one...has it all...wow factor, poses, exposure, moment, light, details, DOF. I liked the conversion as well. very artsy. this hide really does deliver especially with talented photographers like yourself to exploit the opportunities.
-
I like the interaction, sharpness and exposure. Well done Stuart!

Stuart:
Excellent timing, good poses, fish pass a real plus, clean BG, all good.
I like the B&W, with less vignetting for me also.
Well done.
Cheers
