I've been revisiting many of my files from past years and came across this image from our trip to Africa a few years ago. This was from Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.

Very nice behavioral image. This looks much better when seen large. Nice color, detail, and diagonals from the tree. Wish there was a little more light on the left-hand birds face. I don't know if there's anything you can do to brighten it up a bit especially the eye.

Really cool looking birds, Chuck. I like the poses. I'm surprised you got so much dof at f/5.6, everything looks tack sharp front to back.

Nice capture Charles. Those birds like to keep their distance.
