Beautiful light you had here and nice reflections. I know you can't always get the angle you want in a blind, but would like to see more of their face, instead of the top of their heads. Still, the light makes for gorgeous colors.

I like the spotlight effect on the left side bird and the light in general. Also, nice to have both of them in the frame and the reflection is a great plus.

[Walker Noe]

Great exposure and lovely birds. The focus is dead on and you captured a great moment, and that's what counts. However, I am not a fan of the banding on their faces. I would also clone out those water spots on the LH side, but that's just a nitpick. A fine image.

Excellent image with beautiful reflections in superb lights.
