There is a little motion blur on the juvenile. I have tried to keep processing at a minimum.

Hi Moe. I really like this one. Great to see the interaction between the pair. I'm fine with the slight blur on the juvenile, and the fill flash has been used well to bring out the b&w's and feather detail. If it were mine I'd clone out the two bits of lichen? below the perch in between the birds....I'm fine with the other patches. I'd also tone down the blown out section of the perch on the top LHS The BG contrasts well with the birds. TFS

Great interaction here and i like that moss covered perch. Background is nice as well. Wish the left bird gave you a better head angle. Both birds heads look soft.
