Love the colours, interaction and low angle here, Manos. Bird on the left looks a little soft compared to the other. Maybe a slightly higher ISO would have a allowed a bit more DOF while maintaining SS.

Sweet light and lovely interaction.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the angle, interaction, light and BG and would only tone down the whites a bit more.

Manos:

The color palette here is exquisite. Slight softness on left bird noted, lovely interaction.

Hope to see more of this series.

Lovely light, interaction, and exposure. I would tone down the whites on the cheek areas, and selectively sharpen the left bird.

[Kiran Poonacha]

Wow, Manos.. this is just superb, loved the over feel to this frame, great angle, light and pose of both birds, big congrats...

[Ian Mason]

Superb! I dream of these birds making an appearance at my local pond.... I think the texture of the background is very nice. Maybe it is a little soft in places, but sometimes that doesn't matter at all when you look at the bigger picture - pure art!

[Raymond Barlow]

I agree with Ian, as artistic as it gets, superb image!

[Mike Lentz]

Beautiful colors and the interaction is fantastic as well! A winner in my book!
