Hello Rathika,

You have made a good photo of these two soves, The image is very sharp howing fine the feathers of the birds. You have chosen a good POV showing the birds in an interesting position. As you have chosen a good light colors are fine and birds are in a fine contrast with the background.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

A superb moment captured from the comfort of your home, Rathika :).
The postures of both the birds are eloquent and match with your caption.
Very sharp and clear image in which the BG just supports the subjects.
Well done and regards.
