Welcome Nevil. This is an wonderful shot. It almost looks like a painting. Excellent detail in the birds and I like the back to back poses.

Stunning first post, Nevil! Great colour and the background sets of the birds well. Good composition and light. If I have any nit at all it is that the bottom branch on the LR goes out of the frame. Not always easy to control but I would clone out for printing. I love the detail you have captured with the spider webs.

Welcome to NSN! You have a killer post to start out with. The back to back poses are great, and the overall color and tone are superb. The birds really pop against that dark background. Detail is good; I like the hint of spider web on the left of the perch. Well done...
