A very unique moment, captured here, Dan. The up-wing position for the female, is a nice contrast to the down-wing position,for the male. The open bill on the male, is a nice extra, in the photo, as well.

It's amazing they can fly so close together without knocking each other out of the sky! Love the wings up/ wings down pose, and his open beak. Beautiful shot.

+1.  My thoughts echo Paul's. In addition I think the background is a very nice compliment to the birds.  The angle is perfect for this image and aided in keeping them both in focus.

Brilliant capture of this happy couple, Dan! Technically excellent and beautifully done. I think perhaps he's singing 'Me and my girl' as they fly together. I Love it!

What a sweet duo- so lovely the way they are paired so closely, and he is talking about it! Gorgeous, touching shot.

Spectacular Dual flight shot image. Just looks great with the male having its beak open.

Cool moment and poses, makes you wonder how they don't get in each other's way.

A beauty, Dan. Great contrasting wing positions. Great frame as well that captures the size difference between the two.
