Lovely shot and nice compo, Praveen! Good eye contact with the 2nd bird. Do you have it completely in the original image (as this is a crop)? How about a horz crop with both of them completely in frame?

[Praveen Siddannavar]

Thanks Tushar, the tail of the female on the right was anyway cut when I photographed, i did a minor crop for composition. I was on monopod and was struggling with lack of experience of using it.

Nice one. Wish the bird on the left of the frame were not on shadow.

Cheers,

Nice composition

Nice interaction captured. It is very interesting to photograph parakeets, as you can capture lot of different behaviour aspects. I think you are more comfortable using a bean bag than monopod or tripod .Thanks for sharing.
