Perfect focus and amazing poses, Ondrej. I like the colour palette with the surrounds contrasting with the plumage in colour and texture. The angles of the stems in the grass clumps adds a nice dimension. I think a marginally higher angle may have given us a view of their feet and eliminated the cool colour of the dark line at the top of the frame.

This one gave me a shiver, I love it
The pose, interaction, affection makes this one stand out.

Wow, that is some great stuff. Very painterly, with the OOF FG, and BG, and the subtle vignette. I would tone down the highlights a tad more.

Well Done!

Just one amazing image. Love the entire gallery, these are really wonderful.

The interaction is priceless! The EXP and detail is excellent and I love the composition. A slightly higher angle would have been better I think as like Tony suggested it would have showed more of the feet and would have gotten rid of the black band in the BG. Still without a doubt a very striking shot!

Fabulous subject capture and fabulously compelling behavior. Why not make this super great by going to Saturation and lowering the green color only by about 15 to 40 %.

Wonderful shot Ondrej. Like suggestions made, but top marks for your vision and treatment. Top drawer!
