I've posted the wrong larger image myself; embarrassing but at least it's the same birds. :redface: Nice detail and composition. Looks like you were dealing with some harsh light.

Nice, Marc. I really like the complementary poses and the head down postures let you get a better view of the heads than is usual when these birds are upright. Neat behavior. I like the bg as well.
