    Hi Mark,

    Big welcome to BPN!!!

    Nicely presented composition, with a clean background and good exposure.
    It could use a little more contrast and another round of sharpening. Great to find them together, they are such beautiful birds!

    Agree with little more contrast. Very nice composition.

    Def. needs more contrast, and maybe more room at right if you have it. Gorgeous birds!!

    Two nice subjects and a good exposure but the two head angles are fair and not so good (the rear bird). Ideally each head would be turned slightly towards you.

    I got rid of a few extra branches, did Levels and Curves ADjs. Enjoy.

    Later and love, artie

    Really nice to see 2 of these beauties together.
    Levels and curves adjustments really make this picture pop.

    Lovely to get two of these beautiful birds in one image, especially on such photogenic perches. Artie's repost looks terrific. Agree with Danial that a little more room on the right would be good if you have it.

    Welcome to BPN!

    These are such beautiful birds that I hope to get a chance to photograph some day. In this case I think Artie has done a good job on the post processing tips.

    I like the positioning of the birds and the lovely background. I really like the repost. I agree it's great to get two of these pretty little birds in the one image.
