    With the nice head turns and eye contact it looks like you surprised them in a private moment.
    It looks like nice soft evening light and it brings out the soft feather details.

    Good one.

    Two great HA'S and eye contact - exposure is on the money. Like the low shooting angle.
    Thinking maybe a little CW rotation??
    Excellent!!

    It is great that you have such good eye contact with both birds. color and detail in the beaks and feet look great. The low angle is a big plus. On my monitor the feathers look a little soft.
    Wish it were mine.
