The shape of the wings is stunning. Great capture. Echo others, #2 stands out.
I have a feeling, if you have bit more foreground with water, you might get an impression of the lens being more horizontal.

Both are wonderful moments. The first angle makes it look like the beak of the top bird went through the neck of the lower one. Excellent photos, possibly you could address the noise though it's not that bad.
Great images. I like the colours in the second one better as they appear more natural to my eyes. At first I thought it had stabbed the other one in the first image.
