    Awesome shot Satish! Love the detail and the eye contact. Great IQ for ISO 1600. Well done.

    That's cute! Really shows how well they can hide.

    Great detail and lovely color palette. For me, the birds are just a little large in the frame, and the oof log/branch is a little overpowering. But it's a compelling image nonetheless.

    Excellent detail and exposure on the bird Satish. I would like to see the whole eye and beak of the lower bird and I find the oof branch below the top birds chest too strong.

    Beautiful IQ Satish and very cute image. I would love to see more space above and to the side of the birds (if possible). IMO the crop just feels a bit tight. TFS

    Thank you all for the feed back and nice comments.

    Bill Sir,Dan,and Richard, I agree with you about perch.I was thinking to clone it,but was afraid to lose camouflage effect.
    I will take care of tight composition.

    Regards,
    Satish.

    Excellent details and exposure - is there a little more space on the right? I don't know if it was possible but had it been taken from a point a few inches higher the lower bird would have been in better view. I would bet tempted to soften the round areas where twigs have been cut - either NR or slight blur.
