Every thing about this seems to be perfect and you got them all in the same plane including the flowers and the back ground sets it up for me.Great.

Marvleous details and excellent job of setting up the image. Great focus on both birds, and they are really beautifully colored. Great job. What had the birds attention?

Oh this looks good! Awesome colours, good light although it looks like it was strong, and very pretty setup. Sharp. If I may I'd suggest removing the leaf pointing at the bird's chest, and I would see if I could tone down some of the whites on the flowers. Other than that this is quite a pleasing image!

Thanks! I' m not sure but guess the another bird was just below my hide so they keep the eyes on it. I would like to have better eye contact. The perch was thin and prone to vibrations so I was lucky with ISO200 and 1/1000, PP is not needed . Cheers! Miro

Hi Miro, good DOF on both birds, and you have brought out the plumage detail so well. Great symmetrical poses, and just love their colours. Killer BG.

Great shot. The perch in flower and the two birds together really make this stand out. Agree about the leaf on the right a quick bit of cloning would soon get rid. A nicely set up and thought out image, well done
