Not the clearest capture in the world (through glass?) but amazing poses and I love their little shadows.

The composition is incredible, but there's something about the lighting and colours that makes it really hard to look at this picture.

I feel like I should like this one much more than I do. The backdrop with conspicuous shadows doesn't make sense to me, I wish it wasn't there. And I feel like post processing makes the birds look painted and unreal in a way that doesn't work. Too much smoothing? Also I'm not sure what is in focus if anything. The mutual eye contact does seem like something special.

Don't run noise reduction on birds. You lose all feather detail.
