Double OC

Photographed March while on Jim Neiger's and James Shadle's BAA approved "Best of Florida" workshop.

I was all ready to crop the center OC for a nice composition ... but then I realized there were 3 objects that were lined up in a diagonal!:eek: The OOF bird seems to mimic the focused bird somewhat, with the open shell suggesting environment/food ... They are not all the same, but I wanted to try out something new:).

Sorry I've been away on another trip, and I am now so far behind!:( Trying to catch up!! Thank you for looking, and your suggestions are appreciated.

I like the juxtaposition Brian Very appealing Not sure about the shell These work very well with similar head positions as you have here !!! Will be interesting to hear opinions on the shell !!! Excellent image Brian !!!

Well, I do like the shell because it completes the diagonal. I may try an inverse curve to reduce the contrast since the light is a little harsh. Sand multiplies the brightness.

I agree with Fabs about the shell.

I love the tri-agonal. The black head of the middle bird looks a bit funky...
