Way underrated IMHO. Beautiful parallel forms and crisp focus. Nice natural coloration and lighting. Well done!

Great shot Chris, really sharp, very hard to do "in flight", I know, I've tried. I like the negative space & "Rule of Thirds" you used, this photo should have finished much higher. :(

It may have already been mentioned, but a different crop on this may have looked better. It is an unusual shot, however.

nice capture. your timing is very good here. too bad there wasn't more interest in the sky. good job overall.

Great capture! What really makes this photo interesting is that you caught the wings of these two birds in sync. From a side profile the downward flap of the wings shows us all the lovely detail and shades of color in their wing feathers. There is an awful lot of negative space dominating this shot and I am left wondering why. I think the composition would benefit from a tight crop or zoon on just these two birds. They are your main focus so a tighter crop would keep the viewers attention set solely on them.

It's easy to pas your photo by. But a closer look shows nice detail and the synchronicity of the motion is really quite remarkable.

Beautiful capture! My only little nit is that it would have been nice if there were more space to fly into in fron tof the birds.

I'd prefer to see the birds flying into the majority of the photo. The crop makes it look as though they're about to fly out of phot. Great sky in background. Another plus is the capture. That's not easy. 6.

Some thoughts:

-I like the idea of the off centered composition, however, I would have placed the birds on the right side of the frame to give the idea that they are flying into the wide open, instead of to the end of the frame.
-AWESOME lighting and colors, they couldn't be better
