Hi Alexei,

I love your title - they do look like a couple not speaking after a disagreement. You have captured the moment perfectly with beautiful colors and superb details. I love the setting - wonderful rocks too. Your compositions are always superb.

Hi Alex!

It's a very expressive picture, somehow humerous. One could believe that these two are upset and just turn their back to each other. And you are right when you say they are cute! The blue background adds to the value of the picture. Sometimes very common subjects create good pictures...

Kind regards

Ciao Alexei,
congratulazioni per il tuo nuovo equipaggiamento, veramente eccellente, con il quale catturerai magnifiche immagini come questa della coppia di passeri in cui la definizione è straordinaria e si può apprezzare ogni più piccolo dettaglio, bellissimi i colori, mi piace molto anche la composizione con le belle posture contrapposte dei passeri.
TFS.

Hi Alexei,
great moment on sunny day, with a great capture of beautiful Passer domesticus couple. They look very nice in symetric position. Focus, lighting, eyes contact and POV great. Nicely composed agains Black Sea. My hometown located also in Black Sea, but in other side:) Tomorrow I will be in there.
Thanks for sharing, best wishes my friend

With their backs turned against each other, this male and female pair of Sparrows justifies your caption to the picture, Alexei.
It is a beautiful picture and as you rightly said, it warms the cockles in these depressing times, especially in my country.
Thanks and regards.

Hallo Alexei
Like all you’re previous, this is such a lovely image. You have really done yourself proud with this gorgeous two-some. Wonderful and sharp details displayed and presented in a way that you are well-known for. You can in actual fact tap yourself on the shoulder and say well done. I really fancy the different texture and colours of the rocks on which you have captured these two cuties. Just as the two birds differ, so does the rocks, making the image must more striking. A beautiful image with lots of details to appreciate and enjoy. Kind regards and thanks for sharing.

Hello Alexei,
Great title to a fine capture of a House Sparrow pair looking away from each other. The pose, technical high standard, composition on the stone wall and lighting contribute to the appeal of this image. It is also a fine illustration to show the sex differences of this species,
Well done and thanks Alexei,

Hi Alexei

Glad to see you finally got a breakthrough from the bad weather there...we still have lots of rain over here :(

This is a lovely shot, full of warmth and light and despite the fact that it's taken in December, it somehow reminds me of summer :)
You work with your new gear is better and better and i'm really impressed on how well you managed to focus on both of the birds here, using only f/5.6. My compliments!
Other than that, i really like the colors in your scene (both birds, rocks and BG), the exactity of the exposure and the composition.

Bravo and TFS

Hi Alexei

Your sparrows are always having tiffs, I think you need to bring in a bird marriage guidance service :)

Lovely sharp shot, great colours and perfect timing to get a male and female in the same shot

Privet Alexei,
Now I know the other meaning of tiff...at the beginig I was wondering if you just kept the extension of the file's name as the title...
It's so funny...like a human behavior...it talks by itself.
Great timing to manage to get the couple into the same picture.
So double congratulations here, for the picture and of course for your new sensational full-frame equipment. Can't wait to see the even richer (if its possible) images that will be having soon.
Thanks for share and my best regards,
JM

What a lovely couple! Your management of light is amazing in this shot Dear Alexei. The timing is great in the sense that you caught one looking left and the other right. I specially like the background where the sky comes half way in the frame with a nice, clear blue. Amazing shot of this common bird. Bravo!

Hello Alexei,

Photography is always a good antidote to worry, my friend!
This made me smile!
It looks a like a married pair who have had an argument! They are keeping their distance and turning their backs on one another!
The f/g details of colour and texture are excellent. The dof is good so that the birds stand out from their b/g.
I really get the impression of a bright sunny day ... what a lovely treat!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Dear Alexei,
a couple of sparrows on stage in a lovely, telling image from you, the master of passionate observation and presenter of charming episodes. Thank you! I deeply agree with you that humbly watching our nature with a kind and loving heart is the best remedy against any kind of headache coming from sorrows and concern about our manmade crises.
With all my best wishes to you!

Hi Alexei.

Good perch AND the double capture is beautiful. Facing away from each other making it more unique with the light and details capitalized so well. I like the shallow depth and very good framing indeed.

My 'FRIEND' Alexei,
Am sure you too are enjoying the warmth of that lovely sunshine. Envy you!!!
Great capture. Lot of DETAILS with sharp contrasts.
Most delightful.
Mario with greetings.
P.S. This financial and an economic crisis is temporary; it will fade away, possibly, within the next year or so. It is the wrong time to "SELL"; time to "BUY".

Hi Alexei,
Wonderful shot of this common sparrow duo enjoying the sunshine on the stone wall. Immaculate sharpness and great handling of natural lighting. The blue sea makes up a fine BG and I like the different coloured plumages (maybe male and female). Very Nice composition.

Hi Alexei,

Hahaha that is a very apt title you found for the composition although the pair wouldnot have probably been really fighting with each other.
The male and the female are shown in supernb sharpness, details and exposure.The light blue BG adds to the beauty of the scene.The stone perches where the birds rest compliment their own colours.the rich ambient light that is so characteristic of your shots.A most enjoyable composition to look at.
TFS & Cheers
