Beautiful image. The great feathers of the BGH makes always for a good image. Im curious to know if you ran a noise reduction on the birds and then sharpen it? Some of the small feathers seems to be smooth out while the edges seems to be sharp. I may also consider moving the bids to the middle. Im all for not placing the subject in the middle but I think it may work fine for this image.
Love the light.
I think you can open up the blacks a bit to get more detail in them.
I would also take some canvas off the RHS.
Nice image Stuart,

Stunning light, wonderful poses. A beautiful image. It would be even better if there were a little more detail in the neck areas and wing feathers, that seem a bit flat.
I really like this one!
Wonderful warm light, beautiful subjects, very nice interaction and if mine, I would center the birds a bit more as there is too much empty space on right and very little on left.
