Pied Starlings

[Tsechien]

Kinda continuing on the duo-interactive theme.

These are a pair of Pied Starlings taken some time ago near Prechatburi, Thailand. Obviously in some sort of domestic squabble :D

Great interaction and beautiful birds that I haven't seen before. I would give it a bit more room left and right and it would be nice to see the image at 800 pixels, which makes commenting easier. Keep them coming!

This one made me smile. I like the interaction.

[Arthur Morris]

Wow, so many new folks from all over the world. Welcome! You did very well considering the very harsh light, esp. with (way cool) black and white birds. I do wish that both heads were turned a bit more towards us. Good job though of capturing the interaction.

Welcome on board Chien. Very nice image. The light is a bit hard but love the birds interaction. The open bill are a nice bonus but the perch is not the best IMO. Hope to see more of your work here:)

Welcome to the BPN family Chien.
Your image and capture is great. I like the interaction here. Love this exotic pair...:cool:

Many thanks for the great warm welcome! The images here are amazing and I hope to learn more.

Juan - Opps :eek: you are correct, in retrospect, I did notice that perhaps the perch could have qualified as a human element and that I posted in the wrong subforum.

Will try posting a larger size image the next time. I probably read the old guidelines on max sizing.

best regards,
