I really like the positioning of the birds. Excellent depth of field and detail. Great interaction. Wonderful composition

Great drama. Well captured moment!

Wonderful interaction, Sandy. Really cool poses and disheveled feathers. At any distance this image looks fine, but when I did some pixel peeping there appears to be a blown patch on the head of the bird on our left and maybe some minor selection issues around the crest tufts on the bird to the right that you might want to look at. It’s interesting how the shadowed whites blend so well with the blure sky-I wonder if that’s how they look to a fish?

I think this one is incredible Sandy. Great action. Nice handling of the bright whites.

Wonderful interactive shot. Excellent detail and handling of the whites. Looks like you had some nice light and somehow they seem to blend into the sky. Another WOW shot.
