    I had the pleasure of following a blue bird family this spring. To my delight, two youngsters perched briefly and I got this image.

    Terrific image Grace. Bluebirds are very rare where I live, I have never seen juveniles before.
    Perfect diagonal perch and placement.

    Nice "twins". You got a nice HA and eye contact from both of them with a beautiful background. Well done.

    Great capture , Grace. I really love the almost identical pose of the twins.The diagonal perch and the superb bg adds greatly to this beautiful image.

    No nit pics here, all fits together very nicely, diagonal in frame is great and both birds nicely angled to the camera

    Killer image, Grace. Your perch, BG and comp are splendid. Both fledglings are nice and sharp.

    Well done Grace, lovely pose and a killer background to go with it.

    Just like you a friend of mine been following a pair with chicks and it's only recently that he managed to get them down to a perch.
