I like 2 and 3. Would have been nice if the guy in the background in 3 wasn't there!

For 4, whats below the perch to the left of the image? I find it distracting.

#2 is OUTSTANDING!!! Love it.

 

[Actinia]

#2 is OUTSTANDING!!! Love it.

I would second that!

 

[baturn]

Great set, with #2 as the standout!

 

[pjaye]

Very nice Raj! I'm with the others, #2 is my favorite!

Great set Raj, as everyone already said #2 is amazing. I also quite like the light in #3

Not to sound repetitive but #2 is definitely awesome! But I also love #3 and actually really like that the second bird is in the background. Great lighting and I like how the lines of the two birds complement each other. And finally, I'm really partial to #4. I have a soft spot for cockatiels anyway, but also the light is great and they're so cute all lined up like that, like the one on the left is telling them some office gossip and the other three are all, "And THEN what did he say?"

Thanks for the critique Wade, really appreciate it. I didn't even notice those other birds in the background in #4, thanks, I've can clone them out I guess!. About #3, I can honestly tell you that I specifically took that one because the other pelican was in the background. It helps the pic I think, and would have be a plain old portrait otherwise IMO. I was wondering whether I should crop a bit more from the top though..

#2 is OUTSTANDING!!! Love it.

I would second that!

Thanks Eric & Actinia

Great set, with #2 as the standout!

Thanks Brian

I was wondering if anyone would comment on that, thanks Matt.. I like the lighting myself, it's a major part of the pic I think, the lights were coming through the clouds partially creating a strange pattern allowing the birds to be lit from the front and the back simultaneously.

#2 the feather detail is awesome

Thanks steve

Thanks kitty queen, it's my fav too :mrgreen:

Thanks Leonore, we think alike (the second bird) And those cockatiels were really fascinating, I was very lucky to get all of their eyes in one frame.. gorgeous birds!
