good to get both bird with eye catchlights! Raised foot is nice as well. I might turn down the cheek of the left bird a bird, but otherwise this is a good result given the lighting conditions.

As usual, the detail and image quality is excellent, Gene. Nice arrangement of the birds in the frame, and I like the cactus – it gives the image a sense of place.

So much to like about this lovely image, Gene - great composition and poses.  Well worth a click for the fantastic detail throughout, and I love the way that even the branch is giving your shot the 'thumbs up'.   :D    Superb!
