All nits left in.
A cold and snowy wet day at the resevoir overcast and more like dark grey than overcast!!
So I was pleased to grab this one before the elements sent me scuttling for the car.

nice subject composition, but on my home laptop there is very obvious shadow highlight tool halowing around the head, my other minor nit is that this looks to be a huge crop, there is too much pixelation and noise in the deep blacks/shadows around the head disk feathers and a general lack of definition in the subjects.

Paul, nice composition, good timing. Agree that there appears a halo around the back of both birds and the alignment is a tad off but what the heck - still an enjoyable photograph! Cliff

agree with mike on the pixelation and it does need a rotate a bit, cracking pose though

A bit of CCW rotation might help a bit
It is a nice picture indeed. But the picture is not strait.
Kind regards
