    Hi Ramon,
    Nice detail (especially the bill) and very cool mirrored pose in the BG. There's a little bit of noise visible in the BG bird and the eye ring (on the back bird) looks a bit artificial. It sounds like you're having a great time and that's coming through on your posts :)

    Thanks Steve, the OOF eye of the bird in the back just came out like that, you're right about the noise, I forgot to use the Noise reducer filter hehe.. I just wanted to share it as fast as I could :D

    Great shot Ramon, nice detail in the front bird. Good exposure and control over whites.
