Always special to photograph a pair of a species, Gene, and the fine setting, is a large part of your exceptional image.

How nice to see this pair- beautifully posed and beautifully composed. I especially like seeing the colorful underwings of the lower bird. Very artful work.

I like the way you get to see the tail feathers as their main feature plus the hint of colour in the under wing of the lower bird.

Fantastic setting and capture Gene. Great eye contact. Look back pose and the extra details on the facing bird are superb.
