Attila,

Great action here. Love the low profile to this. Gives an intimate feel.

I would be tempted to clone out the stick going into the left birds neck, also the the white OOF highlight on top of his neck. I also feel that croping off some of the top, makes for a stronger image.

Very nice behavioral shot! The detail on the Sandpipers is great. Interesting image!

Attila -

Cool behavior. I love it when these guys start duking it out.

I agree about cloning out the little stick.

Nice shot.

Good action capture. The birds may be small in the frame but the action gives the image impact.

I agree that cropping a little off the top would strengthen this image. Great interaction as is :).

I like the way you framed this. You can just feel the tension in the image. Wonderful!
