Oh GOOOOD ONE! That is excellent focus on that one's face and eyes. You really get a sense of the communication between the two birds!

Just now catching this as I've been slacking a little on the PAW. This is WONDERFUL. Love the bokeh in the background and the patterns on the wire.

This is wonderful! I love the interaction between the two, and the fact they're sharing an intimate moment on concertina wire of all things. Gorgeous colors and excellent bokeh, too.

Wonderful capture, especially with the razor wire fence in the foreground, which really adds something to the shot!

Lovely moment. The bokeh and the blur of the wings both add a lot to the shot
