Cute. I like the face-to-face poses, although I'd prefer the left bird's head not turned away so much. Nice complimentary BG too. If this is not already cropped and that you feel the details can hold up I'd crop tighter on the subjects.

Munish:

Very attractive couple, nice interaction, agree with Daniel about a tighter crop if the IQ will allow.

Hope to see more.

Thanks Daniel & Randy for the suggestions. Here's the suggested crop. Original was about 20% cropped. Current one is 50% cropped. I guess have the margin for more crop. So here it is.

Munish:

The IQ has suffered a bit from this large crop, perhaps somewhere in between the two.
Lovely colors, like the interaction. Might tone down the brightest areas of the perch, esp. on the far left.

Cheers

Randy
