Lovely pair - you managed a beautiful combination of sharpness and soft light, which perfectly matches the subjects!

Very nice pair. Was wondering why the ISO800? With a lower ISO and larger aperture the structure in the BG might not show as much. Still, fine image. What was your focal length? I keep hoping to see these where I live, have only seen them once in 20+years. Thanks for sharing.

Love the pastel colors in this Patricia. I'm thinking you chose f/8 to try to keep both birds in focus. That's the challenge with multiple birds and busy backgrounds. Hard to see details without a larger image. Nice catch!

Good point Steve, had not thought about that. I agree about a larger size.

Lovely pair with a nice red BG. I'd love to see a larger view. Only thing I'd do would be to selectively blur the busy branches above and below the bird on the left. .

Love the subtle colors of these birds and you're catch really shows off those colors well, Patricia. It's also neat that you got both birds sharp.
