    Hi William, I like your choice of F10 that gives the added DOF in the FG, but still you have the blur BG of the distant water. Regarding the image itself, I would wish for more room on the left and more details of the heads and eyes. I know this is tough and I don't know how big your crop is. The image is also saved as 72 dpi with the longest dimension of 800 pixels. You could save it at 96 dpi and the vertical dimension of 900. It would help with the IQ. Loi

    I really like the rocks these guys are perched on, and I like that you have the ocean horizon line showing. For my personal taste there is too much merging of the bodies...if it was possible I would have moved a bit more left to get a tad more separation between the two. As is I think having both heads angled to our right would have been best IMO. Good exposure and light angle giving a bit of definition to the feather layers.
