This is very exceptional Sharon, my congrats. on how well composed and executed this image is. I love ring-necks and while I've been lucky enough to capture a few "pair" images, none come close to this. The larger version shows how much detail is there and that reflection is really the icing on this beautiful cake. Well done!

Sharon, this is great--the pair together is super, and the dof at f/5 got them both. very nice comp, reflections, water. I really like this.

Sharon, this is very nice. Both birds are sharp, you got good poses, detail is there and I like the subtle water colors and reflections.
