Greetings from the Critique Club -
By Inspzil
Composition - Nice color on this pair of birds. I like the way they are arranged, looking like parakeet conjoined twins at the beak. The general composition is pretty good, the only thing I don't like is the really tight crop. It would be a little better if they weren't so crowded at the top of the pic.
Technical - This picture would've done much much better if it were just a little sharper. It's not bad, but anything but perfect on something like this with this much detail, like the feathers, is certain to bump you down a couple notches here on dpc. It may be from compression as much as anything else. The shutter speed at 1/50s may have some part of that too. I don't know why it needed to be that long with the flash firing. I prefer not to use flash unless I absolutely have to, but this picture looks like it couldn't have been taken without it. In terms of processing, it looks like you could've tried to sharpen the pic a bit to give it a little better appearance. It may have added a little noise but sometimes you gotta take the good with the bad.
Overall - Not a bad picture by any means, and actually a pretty good concept. I'm a little hesitant about calling this cliche, but I could see where that's coming from. The photography end of it is where this photo could use the most improvement. Maybe a tripod would've been more effective. Giving the birds a little more headroom in the pic would be better as well. Good luck in future challenges - Inspzil |

Of course they are twins. They are about 4 weeks old in the picture. It was easy to get them to cooperate because they love each other.
Thank you for your comments. |

| I'd say twin - you've got two different rings on. Good composition - it was hard to tell! |

| Very, very cute birds. The hands are distracting, but I still like the shot because the colors are so bright. Good job. Jakco. |

| They're twins! And very cute ones too. Plus, the rings don't match for it to be a mirror. |

| nice pic, the interesting point is too high. i think that if u crop from the upper finger and up the composition will be improved. |

| Two wonderfully matched birds. The rings are different. Is my eye that good or is your photo that good. Think it's the photo. Very clear and beautiful color, very natural. My only problem with the photo is the background at the very top of their heads. Well done. beautiful photo. |

| Nicely done, it really looks like a mirror image. |

| I'm guessing from the different rings on her finger, it's not a mirror. Not to mention the the "mirror" bird is much farther up on the finger than the first one. Just my guess though... |
