Love the over exposed background. Great shot to get the two perched and out in the open.
Was this on the Napo river?

Thanks, Stan. But I'm afraid that I don't know the name of the river.

Nice one, Norm! Love the different poses and selective exposure. I might suggest adding some selective contrast to the birds, as on my monitor they look somewhat flat. A great shot nonetheless!

I am generally not a fan of white backgrounds but this really makes the subjects stand out. I t looks like a detailed painting by someone like Raymond Ching. Love the colours and details.

Cheers
