I really like this image. Everything about it. It does have what appears to be a dust speck sensor mark on the middle of the right edge; and on the lower right corner another mark (a bubble maybe?). With those fixed, in my opinion, you have a winner. Thanks.

Nice shot Verdon. If I was to critique the photo, to me a frame to hold the image might look good with a square close crop. Also, the bird to the right looks sharper than the left on the large image. Overall a nice capture of the subject and nice light and colour.

Neat shot Verdon. Great exposure with good rich and natural colours.
My only niggle is that the legs are chopped off at the ankle and we can't see the birds' feet at the bottom of the image.

While I very much enjoy the close-up of this beautiful dance, I think it would be a stronger image if you had room for the virtual lower legs. That being said, I still REALLY like this image! Sharon
