What happened to your head?


My very first attempt in capturing photo of birds.

I was standing in front of this cage nearly one hour to get the right snap.
This cage is actually huge with about 30 birds of the kind inside. I had my eye on this talkative one, as it's such a performer to me, then the other one just joined & as if hiding its ears together with the head from the noise. *winks*

Focal Length : 70mm
Shutter Speed : 0.040s(1/25)
Exposure : f/4.5
ISO : 200

I like this, birds look great,clear. The back ground bothers me a little, not sure if it the cage but it is blurred but lines are present, little distracting... for me. JENNIE

LOL, this is great! You could put this in the humor category. I agree the background is a bit distracting, but the two birds still stand out as the main focus so that's good. This is really funny and eye-catching. Great job!

What a great cool picture you have there. What kind of birds are they, you know me I love birds. With your caption they should have gone to the humor catagory. Agree with the b/g but maybe you can soften that in ps with the blurring tool. Well done on this pic. I love it!

Nice shot snake. It's centered, focused, it's a great shot that can be interpreted in different ways. People here are saying it's the wife yelling the head off the husband. Enjoyable :) croc

Ariel, this is great! This is too funny. They must be husband and wife. That must be the lady bird scolding the husband LOL. Subjects are nice and clear, the background can use a little blurring so that the fence does not detract from the birds. Very funny picture.

Ariel, great capture. Thanks for the story. At first I thought you might have caught a rare moment. However, with consideration of the husband/wife idea, you might have had many chances :). There's a bit of wash on color for me with the subject overall considering the background. Very good catch though. - Scooter -

Great capture and focus. It does look like the pair are having some "serious" discussion. The background is a little blurry, but otherwise good photo-op. Judith

Great shot. I'm into bird photography as well and your shot made me laugh a lot. Most of the time, birds are doing funny things but you have to be at the right place at the right time to capture the moment. Excellent work, thanks for sharing.

Lovely picture, great job on the focus, love the subjects and the tittle goes great. Clarity, colors good DOF here and I love how the BG is faded out to give more power to the subjects.
Well done

Lol good title. When you watch wildlife in general you could get some very funny shots if the camera cooperates. This one is good, clarity, color, dof. Yes, you have to be at the right place at the right time. I could have had a shot today at a couple of ravens strutting around a parking lot today. Their feathers were puffed out and they were mimicing each other. Problem was, I had my dog with me and they were on the wrong side of my car. Rats!!! may never get another chance. Happy shooting.

Ariel, I love this photo. I keep coming back to and laughing my head off, lol. The focus is great, colors beautiful, the fence is a little distracting, but you can't always choose your bg. Great job! BJ

This is a great capture. With such an appropiate title, it really makes you think the bird is asking that question. I think you did a great job.

Nice shot. You captured te birds at the right time. Some time auto focus gets thing messed up. You chose wisely to use manual focus. Great depth of field to blurr out the back round.

YOu caught a great shot of the bird and the action of the head tucked under while the other with his beak opened. Your DOF is cool with the effect of the fence in the blur effect...very nicely done
