I love the colours but I think the image could benefit from some cropping to draw the birds into a more dominant position.

I like the position of the birds Soubhik. To me the image is a bit contrasty and the birds and too centered in the frame. It would be good to know your techs and crop size. I would recommend a bit tighter crop and comp, but not sure that would work depending on how much of a crop this is already.

Very, very nice pose. They look like a couple of dancer doing a routine together. Very soft light.

Thanks a lot for your comments and suggestions.
This is almost the full frame so there I think is a lot of scope for crop - here is a cropped version , since I couldn't upload a larger image also pasted a flickr link for a larger version.

Does this look better ? Thanks for your views again.

I love the lyrical pose of the two dancers. Like the second version much better. Good catch! :toast:

Sweet light, and nice positions, Soubhik. Detail looks really good in the larger version. I might take a bit off the left and maybe a touch off the top and bottom to emphasize the birds a bit more and decentralize them.

Both birds nicely in focus & sharp, well exposed Soubhik.
I think the repost is much better, well done! :toast:
