I've never entered a photo of birds, nor have I taken pictures of birds sitting on my A/C unit. These two were just waiting for me to snap their pics - several times too... they were very patient.

These are a pair of juvenile mourning doves, Steve. Nice photo!

Creepy eyes! I would have gotten rid of the door behind the right bird's head for a more unified picture, and given the bird on the left a little more beak room. You did a good job capturing the texture of the bird's feathers.

Good capture of these birds. HOpe you tell us more in your photographer's notes. Meanwhile, technicals are fine and composition is delightful.

Unusual shot and very crisp! I think I may have liked a little less cropping and a bit more color, but great focus and lighting.

Interesting subject, although the focus is a little off..I like the almost symmetrical look.

Nice composition and colouration. Unfortunately background elements and cooler are rather distracting.

Very nice. Probably against the rules for the challenge, but this would be a great one to consider removing the background at least the upper background) which competes with them.

Try to blurr the background even more. Interesting composition though.

Very interesting capture. I like the colors, patterns and the textures. Good luck in the challenge.

Wow, the heads make them look almost wooden, but their claws look pretty realistic. Such an odd and strange look, especially those almost perfect round eyes. I'm tempted to say the crop is a little tight, but maybe just a little on the one on the left. Very interesting shot.
