Nice set, there is a little bridge I cross on my way to work and I once witnessed 3 male ducks grabbing one female duck and chasing her up and down the river, one of those situations you want to intervene, but shouldn't.

Your series makes me think about the 2 male doves vying for a female the other day in our yard. At one point, the 3 of them had their heads together, bobbing them up and down. Was comical to see.
Nice set too!

Great set.

Nice set!

If I'm being super critical then I'd say you could afford to crop to a different aspect ratio and loose some of the foreground and background which isn't really integral to the shot. Personally I'd burn the background down a bit to help the birds pop a bit more. To my eye the background looks a bit too lighter than the subject

Thanks for the feedback. I do have a tendency not to crop enough I think partly because I am editing on a large monitor. Here is a couple re-edits. I burned the background on both and re-cropped closer on the first one. Let me know if it is better or I need to do more.
