Excellent capture Sid, great exposure, interaction and nice angle. A question, did you run NR on the birds?

Thanks Arash. Yes, I did noise reduction on birds. After noise reduction I did see a bit of detail loss in the feathers. But like the final soft look effect and decided to leave it that way.
I went back and looked at the original again. Did not see much loss in the details. Here is the original just in case if you are interested.
Thanks
Sid

Wow, Sid, I love this one much better than the fist one, which was good too. This one is really special and I don't mind the soft feel. Love in Heaven ;)

I see a different image now Sid, looks like you uploaded a different photo? this is great but the first one was nice too!
This one does show more details in the whites, I would not run any NR on the birds especially when they are white, ususally there isn't much noise in white feathers, NR will just chew the subtle textures and plasticy look!!!
fine image, both this one and the first one.
Here is my version with no NR and just sharpening

Great pic this. loved the moment captured and great angle and feel here...
Fantastic image! Just wish for a slightly higher shooting angle to avoid the distracting FG.
Sid, Both posts are nice. I do agree a slightly higher shooting angle would have eliminated the OOF FG- but the OOF FG is not distracting to me it just adds a bit of dreaminess to the image which I like.
sid love the image really a fine piece of artistry!
Another spectacular image. All three look great to me. I'm with Denise in that I would not want you to be any higher--you were in the perfect spot. I would get rid of the one or two darker smudges in the BKGR in front of the top bird. You have become the head angle master not to mention the EXP master. Way to do.

Hey Sid,
One of the very few times I don't want a slightly higher angle! You absolutely crushed this one out of the park!!! Outstanding!!!
Sid
