Hi Lil' Buddy,
Excellent interaction between these two. Details and colors look wonderful against that blue sky. Couldn't ask for anything better.

Wonderful detail on the larger image, crisp and sharp. I like the open sky behind the spoonbills for really bringing them out, well done.

Besides being a great photo it tells a story. This is often lacking in avian issues.

David:
Wonderful colors in the spread wings of both interacting birds! As already mentioned the blue sky and pink birds are a great combination.
