how much I love this picture. The bright colors of the birds, the fat puffiness of the male next to the female (I am merely speculating at gender, of course), the sweet and tender pose, the way the out of the focus leaf in the foreground lends a sense of voyeurism to the image... I know that the birds really feel nothing for each other, or for anything at all, and in all likelihood the leaning head was a split-second spasm, but even so I can't help succumbing to the warm-and-fuzzies.
