I like the composition, interaction, soft light and details. Did you use any exposure compensation?

[John Zimmerman]

Axel, I know I should make more notes on how I make my photographs, but at the moment I don't. I do know that I used the reading from my hand held meter and shot accordingly (I know Artie doesn't like it). It was a cloudy day.

If you look for the information, you can find for example in Bridge under metadata.

Interesting view. And, a good exposure. Both birds are pretty sharp considering f/4.

[John Chardine]

Nice one John. I like the idea here- the image shows off the pair-interaction well. The eyes could be lightened a little to "lift" the image. Also maybe a little less on each side would work?

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Interesting composition and I love the eye contact you captured in this image and the soft BG. thanks for sharing.

[Fabs Forns]

I love the unusual composition, great DOF!!!

[Ed Erkes]

I really like this image!! Interesting composition!!

[Steve Maxson]

This is an unusual look and I like it a lot. Great DOF. The patterns and angles on the one bird's face are very interesting. If it was mine, I would crop for more of a vertical look.

[Lance Peters]

Like the contrast between the two. Great Birds.

:)

One's gotta love this. Excellent story-telling photograph...well seen.
