Hi Phil,
I like the pose here. Looks like one bird is teaching the other the art of wing stretching.

Nice image Phil.

I like the identical poses here.

Nice shot spoiled by that rock on the right that looks for all the world like a man in a duffle coat. I don't like cloning but !.

Well caught Phillip,

it looks like a mirror image :smile:

I would be tempted to lose the bird in the Bg and concentrate the image on the pair with the wings open. But made me smile when I opened so thanks for sharing.

Excellent timing Phil. The moment seized perfectly.

Great timing, I think I would clone that other bird out. The only other thing I would change is the title to 'Shall we dance?' Sorry, just my sense of humour.
