    Nice image of the mating DFs. Nicely composed frame, off-centering the subjects towards the top and keeping them in same focal plane. Loved the clean, smooth bokeh as well.
    Only thing that bothers me a bit (only a bit) is the OOF regions towards the bottom of the frame on the perch/wood.

    Nicely composed, good sharpness and beautiful colors. I would clean up the bright line (spider web?) on right and some oof ones low left. Very nice capture.

    Hi Dumay. Nice use of the 500 mm + 1.4X as a "macro" lens. Kaushik and Ovidiu have covered my thoughts very well. Overall, this is a very nice image and a couple minor tweaks will make it even stronger.

    Very nice shot indeed, if it were mine I would consider lowering the brightness just a tad, I think this would enhance the colours and contrast and reveal a little more detail in the female.
