I liked this shot. I thought the technicals were excellent. Lighting is nice and bright, but not overexposed. Sharpness is quite excellent. I found the rear bird to be distracting in two ways. A) I don't really like the way he's holding his head (but it's not like you can coach him). B) more importantly, I don't really like that he's not in the DOF. He is just as well lit as the first and commands almost as much space in the frame. I just wish he was a "subject" as well. The soft focus makes his eyes all weird too.
But really overall and excellent shot. |

Congrats man, this is excellent! Great composition and fantastic colours!
The two birds expressions captures a moment that is indeed worth a thousand words!
Super use of depth of field too. The eyes look great and so do the feathers. I like when a little bit more of the bird is left in the field.
Great job! |

| Hilarious title. Anything that makes me giggle when I read this title and saw these lunatics creatures is worth a good score. Well done. 9. |

| I love the expression of the bird in the background. Good job getting your white subjects properly lit with that darker background. |

| Great expressions on both birds, combined with excellent image quality, elevate this from the 'ho-hum, not another bird shot' syndrome. Great shot! |

| With the title, the expression of the back bird combined with the stance of the front just make this shot! Amazing DOF! |

| Most of the successful bird shots in this challenge involve two birds. This is one of them. I feel so violated by this picture! Tell them to stop staring! okay, okay, I'll give them a 9. |

| The focus & DOF could not be better and the colors just jump out and throttle the viewer. Perfect! |

| Pretty good, but IMO needs more DOF to include the background bird's quizzical expression. Love the color and composition! |

| Oh, the one on the left's facial impression is just too good! Shame he's a bit out of focus, but that's DOF for ya... |

| These guys sure look funny, love the colors and the whole setup, wonder if you cropped the lower part of the bird in the back, would have been nice to see more of him/her |
