  1. Damn ... this is great. Besides the brilliant colors, the leading lines of the branches and beaks makes for a wonderfully composed photograph. But Ferdy, where is the description ?

    1. Thank you :) Regarding the description, the title signals the species, location and behavior in the scene. As such, the title in a way is somewhat of a description. I did not know what else to add. Posted 10 years ago

  3. Fantastic composition and depth of field Ferdy. The 2 branches crossing and their wide open beaks works so well. Very impressed. Posted 10 years ago
