Nice click...It's really difficult to correctly expose these birds at times! You have done well in this regard..A little wider angle and a bit of more space on the right would have enhanced the composition manyfold in my opinion. Thanks for sharing! Would love to see the Exif data of the pic..

I like the eye contact with the catchlight and the low angle. Agree with Nishith on compo, you can actually post a larger image. Is this a large crop?

Nice symmetry. Good eye contact. The red bill and the red eye look nice. Agree about the space. Please share the equipment details. Thanks for sharing.

Cute factor written all over the place. The left most bird has the head turned away from us. Else, it would have been even better. How much of a crop is this? You can post images upto 1024 pixels in the longest side. Total size of image file should be less than 300kb. Thanks for sharing.

PS: I am updating the original post with the Exif details.
