Hi Randy, good for you for getting down and dirty to get the shot! I like the low angle and the subtle blue and white color palette. Excellent exposure, detail, and color balance. I understand what you were thinking with the composition and artistic look, but I think you tried to include too much in the frame. The second bird doesn't add to this image for me, and they are both turned away from the camera. I would crop the right half of the image away and make it a vertical of only the bird that is in focus. Let's see what others think.

Thx for the feedback kerry
I like Kerry's idea, but also like the diagonal of the two birds. Nicely done.
Hi Randy....I vote for leaving the second bird in the frame it adds some depth
I love the blues and whites of this photos.
I think taking a look at a vertical crop of the bird on the left would be interesting to see. Keep the reflection, and it will be enough to hold the image together. It would have been ideal to have one of them facing you, but that's not always possible.
Thx for the feedback.....it's always interesting to see how other shooters envision a shot
