    Both parrots are very sharp and colorful, and I like most of the BG. Good eye contact. Would wish to eliminate the green BG leaf just to the right of the RH parrot. TFS!

    Ivan:

    I like the opposing poses, exposure and sharpness. Agree with Keith about the leaf.
    I would also consider toning down the leaves below so they don't compete so much with the birds.

    Cheers

    Very nice detail for a slow SS Ivan. You have done a good job of managing the BG elements but I agree the one green leaf to the right could be eliminated or toned down. Perhaps the bright leaves in the lower right could also be toned down.

    I really like the vertical comp here (although it was the obvious choice;)). Great front and back poses, and just as important, two good HAs. That leaf touching the face is a bummer but it should be easy enough to get rid of if you are inclined to do so. Same as the bit of leaf poking in in URC. Since we are suggesting removing things, you could also eliminate the faint vertical streaks above the parrots. Do you have just a bit more canvas at left to add back to avoid the large leaf at bottom left just barely skimming the frame edge? A highly enjoyable image!!

    Thanks for your comments. I will do any other version when I get rid of some of the leafs. :)
