    Wonderful timing. I really like this image as it has a pleasing restful feeling about it. Fantastic soft lighting and a great exposure to get all the great looking birds detail. Really good no that is 3 birds.

    Very nice shot. I really like that all 3 birds are looking in the same direction. Very nice light, excellent detail, and great perch.
    Well done.

    Nice to get the head angles all the same, nice light and sharp. The middle bird could use a little more eye work, ( it looks a little dull compared to the others.)

    That is a story telling picture. You might add any funny dialogue between them! Just love it! Congrats!

    Hi Rakesh, its not easy to manage to get three all looking in the same direction. There will always be one being 'busy' looking around, so very well timed here. I like the curved perch, and good DOF for F/4. I would maybe try and remove the OOF twig in the LLC.

    Great to get all 3 birds sharp. I wish you had a better head angle on the middle bird. Another vote for removing the twig. I'd also like to see a bit more room up top and on the right.

    Excellent timing to get all the three birds in the same pose. I agree with the previous comments about removing the OOF branch, and wouldn't have minded some more space around the birds.

    Rakesh, not an easy one....capturing symmetrical head positions of 3 birds is so hard. Well done. If you have more room, I'd suggest adding a bit on three sides. Excellent details. agree that some eye work on the middle one will enhance this one.
