    Hi Vivaldo,
    This brought a smile to my face. I like the 'hopscotch" poses. I would tone down the specular highlights on the lead bird's leg. Like the water droplets of course,
    Gail

    Hi Vivaldo, sweet light, and you have nailed the exposure on both Stilts. Both sharp, and I really like the overall colours in the image, together with the trailing droplets.

    Where was this captured?

    Beautiful shot of these attractive birds Vivaldo, I agree with Gail on the specular highlights on the lead bird's leg.

    A good behaviour image. I would have prefered the brighter part of the background to be more subdued but it is not a big issue in my view.

    Love the beautiful light, the low angle and the setting. The nice layered bg and the bits of green in the fg add so much to this image.
    The poses (with the dripping water) are great. If anything I'd address the halo around wings of the leading bird.

    Great shot Vivaldo, I reckon I am out of kilter with everyone else but I would suggest the image is a tad too bright, I think there would be more discernible detail if it were toned down a bit.

    I really enjoy this pair. The great head position of both really make it. Pleasing BG.

    Superb timing in this image Vivaldo... Agree with all that's been said... Exposure is perfect.

    Great image Vivaldo! I like the exposure, timing, water trailing off the feet and BG.
