    Default Spoonie Spat, Round 2

    At Stuart's request, here's the sequel to yesterday's post. This is actually two frames (0.30 seconds) after yesterday's. Just in case anyone wondered what those spoon bills are really for. (I actually like yesterday's better in terms of comp and head angles, but the interaction of this one certainly is interesting.)

    I love them both but think this frame may be more powerful. I'll be looking forward to everyone else's opinion. The wings up, water splash and environment on this one, plus the one head inside the other's bill really makes this one unique.

    Bill, very unique...that wing position is perfect. liked them both. They are quite different...making comparison difficult for me.

    Very sharp, and the first one I've seen where they're putting their bills to such use.

    Great image.
