Ordinary Couple

She takes a well deserved rest from housekeeping.

I like the evening (?) lighting on this Dennis, the low angle and warmth of the light work very nicely.

The light is great, never had the opportunity of seeing these lovely birds in the warm light.
Well captured.

Great shot Dennis, only two nits for me are:

1. central composition - would look different again with a bit more negative space to the right.

2. very tight at the bottom of the frame.

I think the eyeline of the prone bird would stand some negative space on the right - but not too much!

Agree with more space right, less to the left. Excellent light though!

Lovely image with gorgeous light. I agree with Andy about the composition. :smile:

Love the light and the fact you have two birds in sharp focus with great poses. Small nit a little too tight at the bottom of the frame.

They look very contented enjoying the evening glow , just a tad more forground though would have made it , nice picture.
