nice. i like it.

did you use a tripod. or mono pod for this one. its pretty clear considering the shutter speed was only 1/160th on a 300mm lens. they say the shutter speed for handheld should be aleast alittle faster then "one over the focal length" or so ive been told.

good work.

Very nice composition, would love it even more if the part of the branch ( on the upper left) was not included in the shot

Thanks for the comments.

No I didn't use any tripod, it was hand held. I messed up the best shot when they were kinda kissing each other because of that.

It was pretty quick, I was taking shots of my friend's baby when I looked outside and saw those birds, I quickly changed the lenses and started shooting.

Cheers

if you want us to critique it (really critique it that is) you should say what you want us to look at cropping or composition, lighting, balance, contrast, sharpness, DoF. But the photo looks just fine to me

Thanks for the tip!
I wasn't aiming anything in specific, I was just looking for some different eye's critique.

Cheers
