I heard people call them "mandarins" but maybe they were not exactly these ...
In any case - these ones ARE simply beautiful.
But they have acted just as models for a MASTER which is obvious for anybody watching this perfectly composed and renderd image ...
Congratulations, dear Anita !!!!

The colors of these birds resemble a Wood Duck which is native to where I live, only these are prettier. You really captured a GREAT SHOT, of whatever they are. They may be some type of HYBRID. Thanks for sharing.

They are drop dead gorgeous and the first time I saw them was in the voting booth and they had to squabble over the 10 pieces of food I had in my hand to give them..lol...great job, my friend.

Ohhh...they are lovely and so sweet...i like the blurred water on the background - it gives so interesting effect...and the shot looks more delicate and surrealistic,because it becomes some speciall curves...and the birds looks like the soft clocks of Dali...fast:-)))Fast the same effect.Lol*

These beauties look like some kind of duck - one looks all tuckered out and the other looks like it moved alittle. Nicely caught close-up. Thanks Anita, for showing these different birds of a feather :*))
