Nice composition, Elizabeth. I like the open beak on the bird on the left and the lines formed by the branches and the birds. I might have composed this with a bit less room on top and a bit more on the bottom.

What a cool looking tree, I've never seen a pine such as that. Oh and the mockingbirds are beautiful too. I agree playing around with some different crops might reveal a more interesting comp.

F9 served you well, getting the whole tree and both birds sharp. Sharon

Great detail in birds and pine tree. I can almost hear it singing. Love mockingbirds and this is a pleasing rendition of them..

Both birds facing the same way and in sharp focus, wonderful perch.
Soft even lighting and natural looking color as well..
One can't ask for more than that, great 'Twofer" Elizabeth!

Happy Easter to you & your family
