What a killer shot of this beautiful pair. The vibrant colors are just popping off the screen and the details and comp look perfect.
Nice work on this one Robert!

Absolutely great with both birds perched like that, and i agree looking much better without the clipped ends exposed. I do still see one that jumps out between the males legs. Perhaps to the average viewer this would not be noticed or even considered,but to a bunch of folks that go around clipping trees, shrubs,bushes and flowers in hopes birds will land on them it will definitely be noted.

Thanks for looking,

Robert, this is so spectacular. I can't image how excited you were when the pair landed on this beautiful branch together! I do agree with Michael and cloning out the cut branch b/n the males legs would enhance it.

The composition with the pair together is outstanding Rob! The image is just beautiful regardless of clipped twigs - they are an easy fix. This shot is just begging to be printed large and framed for folks to enjoy - it would grace any wall.

Well done indeed!
