About the Image(s)

At my local preserve, I occasionally see Roadrunners, but typically single birds busy stalking a meal. So it was a lot of fun to see 2 of them engaged in some kind of dispute, chasing each other around the field. They stalked each other around a tumbleweed, going in circles numerous times, then they ran across to another bush and did the same thing. I’ve no idea what it was about, given the time of year, but territory seems likely. Eventually they ran off and disappeared in brush. I have a lot of shots with them on the opposite sides of the bush, but in a single frame I thought it was hard to understand the story. I’ve tried several crops on this before settling on this, any better suggestions?

I am still trying to capture a Roadrunner and Coyote in the same frame, since both are present at the preserve. I’d add an Acme Anvil in to the scene if I ever do.
