Thank you very much for looking and I appreciate any comments you may have.

Great capture Tim, especially for 200mm. That gave you enough DOF to get both birds sharp. I like the BG...except for the magenta around the lower birds tail.

Thank you Doug for your comments. Attached is another version but I had preferred the position of the birds and their expressions in the other one. I'm afraid my skill level (or software?) doesn't allow me to fix the first one.

I agree Tim, the positions & expressions in the 1st are better. I've learned to clone some things, but with my own skill level and the tail going through the color, not sure I could even fix it. Thanks for posting the 2nd shot.

You've done something here I have never been success in accomplishing - getting two birds on a perch, with both in focus. Good looking birds, too. Congratulations!
