    Nice details and colors, I like the pose (almost identical) on both with open bills I just wish that the middle twig wasn't running through and between them

    Good job on focusing on the nearest bird. I do not think that it would have been possible to get enough d-o-f to get both birds sharp at 850mm...

    Great pose and IQ on the front bird. I like the matching poses. Too bad about that twig.

    Surprisingly I actually like that twig in this case. It kinda makes the male look coy in trying to get the female's attention. I love the eye colour comparision.

    Nice how the far bird's eye is framed with the leaves and branch. Nice color in this image.
