Greetings from the Critique Club!...
COMPOSITION... Since you went to bird park, I take it there was lots of fauna around to photograph, so the subject wasn't in short demand :) But the timing was good to get these two birds in the position they are! Glancing at the comments it seems its not only me that would want to see less of the top green portion of the photo, but instead of including the feet, i think its nicer if you make it a landscape crop and take out the protruding twig on the bottom... Nonetheless, I like the tree which runs down the right side of the photo and gives the viewer an idea of where the birds are looking. Effective use of DOF - makes the subject really stand out.
TECHNIQUE... I had no idea the Sony DSC-F717 had the capability of such narrow DOF (unless you were really close to the birds...)... at a decent distance, at F2.4, even my camera can't reproduce what you've done here... Exposure, image quality is great, though the image can stand to use some sharpening. (Sometimes I leave the sharpening alone if I'm going for a soft look so this sometimes falls under the realm of creative license). |

| Very nice image. I think you are the only photo i have seen so far who actually followed directs and shot more than one animal. Very nicely taken! |

| Great title.... I love these birds! Awesome texture and their white feathers are so pure. Nice shade of green in the background, too. 9 |

| The symmetry of the two birds is great. I'm a bit torn over the tree, though. Cropping it out would leave their heads too close to the edge of the frame, but it's also distracting. Too bad you couldn't get the shot from an angle which excluded the tree. Otherwise, fantastic. Getting a good exposure on those white feathers is no easy trick. |

| very nice shot. too bad its a bit dark on their heads, maybe boositing the saturation a bit more would have brought their beaks out some more? |

| Great job on depth of field. Nice focus and color. I would have rather seen some chopped off of the top than chopping the feet off though. |

| Nice image and nice, creative, title. Wish there was a little less space at the top and a bit more at the bottom to show their feet. 8 Journey |

| Very cute photo here of the birds. You wonder what they are actually up to. Nicely focused. Shows good detail and depth. I kind of wish I could have seen a little more of the birds and a little less of the green at the top. Their back ends and feet are cut off. My only complaint. Good luck in the challenge. |
