One purple martin perched... rare, two purple martins perched... almost never, a male and female on the perfect perch... priceless. Love the HA on both, the colors, details and BG. Congrats. TFS
This is really lovely.
If this was mine I would clone out the cut-off branch below the tail and the one to left of female. But, if not something you like to do, all good as is.
Love the lichens, great BG and perfect HA on the male.
Well done,
Gail
You've done well to get as much detail in them both as they don't look to have ben on the same focus plane as each other. Good eye contact from them both, a very nice shot

Well done Dan, perch is great but the two with different poses is special. I'd suggest toning down the lichen and perch areas, I think darkening might be worth a try. BG is sweet and no noise, its pretty...
Lovely image, Dan. The best compliment I can give you is that I wish it was mine. Thank you for sharing.

Nice view of both of them. Like the one on the top hanging out. Neat perch as well.
Great looks from both birds; lovely perch. Well done!
