This was taken in South Africa last October. These 2 Africa Oystercatchers were about to take off from this rock.

I like the comp here and the colour contrasts - the birds stand out really well against the BG.
My only minor nit would be that on my screen the FG rocks have a slightly unnatural look about them - I can't put my finger it, and so it may be the harsh looking light, my eyes, my screen, or just that these rocks look that way
Nice one Oscar.

A strong composition on this one Oscar, the birds are real lookers too, the red eye rings stand out very well. Works for me.

Well captured
You'd think that living in such a hot country that they'd be white like ours to reflect the heat wouldn't you?
