I like the light here Richard as well as the tandem composition. Good detail in the first bird, but I wonder if stopping down a few might have rendered the second bird a tad sharper. Still, I find this a very nice image.

Richard, I really like the setting and the lighting is wonderful. I agree that more DOF would have been an improvement, though if you were close to the birds (you don't mention crop size) you still may not have been able to get them both sharp.
