    Default Kissing Munias

    The wind was so strong when I made this image, it was difficult to keep focus as the grass was moving... but the wind also helped to achieve the clean BG on the left by blowing away few grass blades.

    Scaly-breasted Munia

    RAM, I haven't cloned out anything. The one near the bird's feet is an OOF grass blade. Applied Neat Image on the BG.

    Love the different range of colours in this one and even though some are at the opposite end of the spectrum they all seam to work well together.

    Excellent Web site you have Saptagirish, the Pied Cuckoo is quite striking.

    Nice behavior shot, I like the look from the one bird on the left, nice detail in the chest patterns. This bird looks similar to the nutmeg manikin. TFS

    It's a lovely image of beautiful birds. Please post your equipment and settings. I would clean up the bg elements that look like artifacts to avoid distraction, and would probably zap the little white speck on the left-hand bird's face. The image is absolutely stunning, with great bg and perch, and intimate interaction between the birds. Well done.
