Nice behavioral capture, Cheryl, and exactly the right tone for those over-the-top colors. My only wish is that you could tease a little more detail out of the whites on the necks.

Cheryl, pretty good exposure for what looks like a difficult bird to get right with their darks and whites. Good job. I too like the title and of course the image. Great job.

Excellent, Cheryl. The poses are great and the red beaks really add a lot. Excellent job onthe exposure and very crisp.

Wonderful composition and title, nice job getting both in focus with detail. The placement of the background line is just right, nice job in getting this, way to go.
