I like this one a lot. Simple, clean. Good techs. Really like the rough texture of the perch matching the texture of their faces.
Good matching head positions.
I could see a bit more room on the right edge, if available and clean, since they are gazing that way, but the way the masses in the image are arrayed, I think it balances well as is.
Troy, great shot of this oft-maligned species. Nice handling of the blacks in what appears to be fairly bright sun. Nice comp and lovely bg. Love the parallel poses.
See you didn't walk away with nothing, Troy. I really love this one. Great light and BG. THe perch works well and love seeing both near one another in similar positions.
