    Hi Tim,
    I really like the eye position on the lower floor, top floor not as cooperative. Overall, great behavioral shot, although they need practice...I like the details you got with the whites. TFS

    Looks great. Nice pose on both birds. The composition works well here.

    Very nice Tim! Orange really pops in the flat light conditions. Eye contact from bottom bird is perfect.
    Finally joined this group, so I'll be seeing more of your stuff moving forward.....

    Beautiful. I love the top bird's feet positioned on the back. Good colours, and yes, the female's head turn towards us is a neat touch.

    Tim - very nice shot. She looks like she's giving you the evil eye. I've still never seen one of these in the wild. Beautiful birds, nice simple bg, and the subjects seem perfectly sharp. Thanks for sharing.

    Great looking poses with no shadows and cool catchlights in the eyes. Love the female's look. Colors and details look great too. Well done
