Lovely image Mrudul, the eye contact details on both birds have come out well. The bg too is nicely diffused, wish there was some more space at the bottom to ensure the tail of one bird was not cut.

Good that you got both looking in the same direction. Was it a pair of male and female?

Praveen, the tail is not cut but yes some more space would have been good as it is nearly touching the frame. Don't know how I missed that, while converting I too thought that it got cut, so I zoomed and checked and saw it was just saved :).

Atul, I am not sure if it is a pair.

Thanks all for the comments.

Agree about the space, but otherwise a nice shot. Lovely birds. The one on the right appears to be in better focus (?)

Nice one Mrudul, these birds are not easy to find (atleast to some of us :confused1:) Agree with all the comments made and I too have the same question as Abhishek - the right one seems to be in better focus ?

Yes, the AF point was on the bird at the right so it is in better focus.

Thanks all for the comments.

Sweet birds. It is a pleasure watching and clicking them. They are in two branches at different distances from the sensor plane.

Cheers,
