    This is my first time photographing this species. I like the juxtaposition of the two and the overcast/drizzly day added to this look. I added a subtle fractalius effect.

    denise, nice subtle effect! They seem to be posing and pondering the photographer.
    I like the evenness of the detail/exposure and even though OOF, the eye catch-light in the back bird brings him back as a companion. More interesting for me :o.

    A sweet juxtaposition image with loverly soft light. Are the black belly-bordering lines in the ORIG or from the Fracting? These are both juveniles.

    Very nice, subtle fract work Denise. Love the pastel color palette and composition. Cute birds!
