Great capture of the three birds. They're a wonderful subject and you caught them in an interesting moment.
Although there is some nice light at the edges of the birds, I would prefer more of them to be in light. I would (try) to selectively lighten (mask..do you use this tool?) the birds, and leave the back-round at the level it's at.
However, I'm not sure about this, as the definition on the birds comes and goes. There are some very sharp areas on the birds and some blurred areas.
This is a busy picture with all the foliage. All the foliage competes with the birds for our attention. I'm not sure what the answer is since you wanted to get all of the birds in focus. Wonder what aperture you used.
very nice composition.

Agreed Phyllis. I will see if I have another that may work better. Thanks so much for your suggestions and rating!

this is a wonderful Sange-like capture of these sweet and funny looking babies; an appropriate title since they seem speaking to each other; excellent techs all around;

This looks like mom has had it with these two youngsters and is hiding her head! Can't wait so hopefully see these in person soon! :) Great composition. Personally I might lift the shadows just a bit but it's an amazing shot.

I find so much joy in looking at your bird photos! Love the expressions on the two little guys.. Mom is saying "I can't take the chitter chatter anymore!" LOL
Great visual impact, wonderful colors.. and you have captured the fuzzy texture of their bodies so well! Thank you for sharing!

Lol thanks again donkey!

Comment from Cephus
Well another nice shot.

Wish that the lighting and the clarity was a bit better on this one. Nice, but not up to the quality of the previous post. The expressions (well if birds can have expressions) are quite nice.

Just would like to see this one a bit brighter and with a bit more clarity.

Thanks Charles... let me see if I can do something with it. Perhaps I overdid this one. :)

Perhaps :)

Lesson learned, never do anything too good then you have to try to outdo your self and it can be hard.
