That is quite the combination, excellent composition, background and good detail on both birds in the larger image.

Super Cool Angela

An excellent side by side comparison. Great poses on both guys.

They were obviously cooperating with you. Nice composition. Was there a bird feeder just out of the picture?

Wonderful shot, Angela! I don't think that I've ever seen a shot with these two birds together, and this one is compositionally and technically well done, also! Great poses! Beautiful!

Very cool getting these two 'guys' together Angela. Neat perch, great BG, and the detail is superb-particularly in the LP.
