Theme: Black-faced Waxbill High Key

Sometimes the smaller the bird, the finer the detail and the more beautiful...
ISO 400 / f6.3 / 1/640 / +0.3
Sharpened for web, improved vibrancy

It is always nice to get 2 birds in the frame.
I would have shot this at ISO 800 minimum to get more DOF. The exposure on both birds could be a bit brighter say +2/3 or 1 off the sky.
The bottom bird looks great but the top bird is a bit OOF. I think I would really like this image a lot more with just the bottom bird.
Do you have that in your files?!

I'm OK with the two birds, but having them both equally sharp would have been super...and with this in mind I agree with Gail in regards to the techs. Very beautiful birds...I see similar ones in local pet stores, which is a shame really....

Thanks Gail and Dan, appreciate the feedback. Will post an individual bird, as I have a couple. Just always difficult to anticipate two arriving and adjusting depth of field in time :)... oh well always next time. Thanks again!
