This was taken two years ago, nearly to the day, when I started to venture into Digital photography. This was shot at the Monte Casino Bird Gardens in Johannesburg. I cant remember the ID, so hopefully someone can help. Some sort of lovebird or parrot.

Beautiful birds in a cute pose. Exposure and sharpness is excellent with a nice complementary background color.

Nicely done Stuart. Nice tender moment. Excellent eye contact and sharpness. None of the colors look oversaturated. Perhaps a sliver of additional canvas on the right.

Interaction, sharpness and eye contact are great. I don't think these are lovebirds but am not sure what species it is.

Lovely as noted above. My only wish is that the bird on our left had its head turned a bit more towards us.

Great stuff Stu. Love the colors and the BG contrast. They are some species of Parrot. Yes, I am very helpful aye? ;)

They look like Sun Conures, in the parrot family, did they have green on their wings?
