Neat, neat, neat! Good to catch them both in focus and understandably interacting.

Great colors and plane of focus, Sandy. The water splash is a plus.

Very nice. I like the interaction between the two birds. The amount of detail visible on the white birds is excellent. I like the muted reflection of both birds on the water. Very nice.

Super interaction shot Sandy, love the lighting and reflection too. I'd crop just a little bit from the top here. :toast:

A comical action capture Sandy, the bright eyed bird in front seems to laughing. Excellent techs.
