PS Thinking back you might get a tiny bit more in the blacks. There's a programme called image guru which I use and its great. You should be able to do it in PS though .No big deal. Big version great.

A keeper! An interesting interaction between the two birds. The detail is very good! For the sake of balance, I would be tempted to add another sliver on the right and maybe even the bottom. It just feels a little tight to me.

Pretty cool interaction that you've captured here. Nice work getting both so sharp and one with the bill open.

You did pretty well with the black! Nice interaction of the birds! I know it is a largely colorless scene but did you also remove a little?

The interaction makes the shot. Exposure looks good and I like the frosty grass and one open bill. Good light in both eyes too.

Most interesting interaction, and both birds sharp too. The frosty grass is a most effective setting.
