    Love these birds. Great pose and eye contact form both of them . Food is a bonus. Composition is nice and I don't find it too tight in the frame. Well done.

    Looks great all around, I like the head angles, BG and sharpness. The little bee adds to it.

    Ofer, love it.
    Did you take these pics from a blind? Are they shy?

    Lovely composition, posture and sharpness, great use of DoF. I would tone down brightness very slightly?
