Love the interaction in this image Stuart and the excellent eye contact on both. Nice composition too. Many thanks for sharing and great to see you today.
Hi Stuart,
maybe a hair more selective sharpening on the birds. I know where they landed as I was there a few weeks ago and i really like the greenery.......but it does pose challenges......since the legs are already lost.......I may lean more towards a tighter crop to the breast feathers and go for a vert presentation.....this would emphasize the interaction even more. If you aren't against such things......a bit of a clean up behind the one head would even further emphasize the pose.....although not totally necessary....as this is thier environs. Just some food for thought.
Love the soft light and the soft colors but not the soft heads of the birds A vertical capture might have been the way to go.
