Hi Sandy
Thank you for the Tufted Ant Srhrikes. Looking their getting ready for a night out on the town. The framing is really nice, as it leads the eye right up to the female who is the focus of this photograph.

Another fine image from your Brazil trip, Sandy. Getting them together and interacting adds a lot to the image. Detail in both birds is excellent and the background works well.

Nice image Sandy - great to see both birds interacting like this. Nice to see both of them sharp like this. F10 worked well once again. Interesting perch too. Love the open beaks.

Sandy, you’ve managed to capture some unique birds in your recent travels. I have enjoyed seeing them. This is a great shot with fantastic interaction between the couple. Well done.

This is another great set of unique (to me anyway) birds Sandy. I love the look they’re giving each other. I think you’ve nailed the interaction here. Nice perch with nice detail and nice BG. This is hitting all the right buttons for me.
