Its hard to get that close to these birds, an achievement in itself. The techs look good but that said I find the diagonal splitting the rear birds distracting.

Nice intimate shot of them.
When they're paired up at this time of year it's rewarding getting a shot of the two of them.

Lose the rocks at the base :toast: :toast:

Nice image with good colours, it would look good as a "portrait" crop.

The second one is much better.Although the top lighter background really shows that 'grainy'
1000iso which detracts a little.

That split background is really unfortunate on this one Jeff. A potentialy great image spoiled. Animals and birds are just so inconsiderate on times.
