Great capture! The bird in the nest looks as though he/she is smiling... 7

Well, this is about as intimate as you can get.... Cool title, too.

What a great bird shot. Super focus and nice perspective.

I'm beginning to wonder about myself with all these animal shots. Like so many, this doesn't cross into the anthropomorphism concept of "Intimacy" for me as much as it speaks of the biology lesson that birds must nest. I am beginning to think that this is more my limitation rather than your issue. I do think it might work better if they were touching beaks - as if in a kiss. With that out of the way, I really like this shot. I love the color of the eyes, the feather pattern and the sharpness of the focus.

Nice capture, and dont' they look proud of their nest :- )

My only suggestion would have been to bump the saturation on this shot - the birds have such a wonderful deep metallic sheen to thier colours.

Could be brighter, I think... but well focused. And the bokeh is pleasing.
