    This is a species that is usually hard to get, but on this day they were just all over me and my friend. After getting some great portraits, suddenly three birds flew on the perch at the same time...
    We couldn't believe how lucky we were to even get thre perfect head turns :)

    This is a KILLER image Jan! A bit more on the sides and a bit less at the top IMHO. You know what I think you MUST do with this image....

    Wow! This is lovely. As you said, the 3 perfect head turns, the creamy BG really make this a special shot,

    Outstanding image. I think that less on the top is a great idea. Perhaps tone down the perch just a bit as well.

    A great triple Jan... With all three birds in focus, excellent detail and good eye contact on all the birds... Like the texture on the perch

    A winning loto ticket image - what are the chances of getting all three birds like this. The clean BG and I love the dead wood perch. I know they are a hard species to photograph so well done.
