Yep, Valentine's Day all over! Very apt picture for this day, I love the cuddling interaction. Nice colours, good sharpness on both individuals. For me a lower angle would have been great, but I do see that you had very bright patches back there that would have likely been not too pleasing had they been introduced into the image by going lower. I do wish I could pluck out that one leaf covering the foot!
Hi Keith, lovely image to celebrate Valentines day, the ruffled plumage and 'affectionate' HA is a nice tough, cool colouring. Would echo with Daniels feedback.
Hi Keith.. pink & greys, local birds..!! They look good to me. I think in your defense if you had got lower then that hash Oz sun I can see sneaking in along the top border might just have dominated your BG a little too much.. Just a guess though, you might have found a dark BG... The good thing about these birds is that they feed and are often found on the ground.
Thanks Guys, Don this was from Yanchep state park(great place!) Perth WA,we have had so many dull dark days here that I can't remember what bright light is like.
