Swing dancing sharpies, what a capture!!! My only nit would be to bump up the contrast or darken the darks a bit to darken the birds slightly.

I always love watching Sharpies and Chickens in action!! Nice job capturing the action. My only nit is I wish the second birds head wasn't so lost in the battle.
Well done

They are so entwined together its not easy to see what belongs to what - but I love the rear bird with its wings wrapped so closely around its adversary!
