Lovely capture with that full wind span.

Charming detailed capture and interaction between two birds. A bit odd to have no background, just the pure white. Reduces it's impact a little, for me. But lovely detail in both birds and stunning crescent of extended wings.

Beautiful silhouette, lovely sky, particularly like how grey-blue clouds at top balance grey-blue sea at bottom.

Beautiful sunset. Not that you could have adjusted this, but the photo would make a bigger impact with a fuller tree, IMO. 8

Beautiful detail on the birds; love the pose on the landing bird and the composition. Quite a poetic title, too ;-) Personally I would prefer some context to the background, but all in all a really great shot.

Ok. . .this is my new favorite bird photo -- my old favorite being MINE :) WOW! I can't see anything that takes points away from this being total perfection -- even the degree of difficulty factor is a 10. So, after voting 86%, I gladly (ok, maybe not soooo gladly, but certainly deservingly) I surrender my one and only 10 to this fabulous wildlife photography! Gotta be a ribbon winner here. Congratulations!

. . . and you creating the scene and shooting it.

You're right. Freud, among others, would have found it VERY interesting.
