lovely image - well exposed and I like the symmetric poses. welcome here!!

Welcome João! What a stunning image for your first post! The lighting is perfect, the wing angles are perfect and the layout of the two birds is perfect. The image is perfectly sharp, there's no noise, and there's detail in the dark tones (maybe not the upper bird's right wing but it doesn't matter). This is all "in my opinion" as they say, but I suspect there will be lots of agreement. I can't think of a way of improving the image. I thought maybe a little more space to the left but in the end, your composition is what I like.

Fantastic double...the exposure and IQ are great...Nicely done Joao

Lovely image with good composition. Difficult to get their eyes sharpm but you have done well:)
