This is a very nice in-habitat shot Ann. It's nice to see come context as most of my own shots lack it. The head of the bird at bottom left is a bit distracting and would be an easy clone-out if that's your thing.
Hi Ann,
Very nice interactive capture and I like the habitat too. Techs look good with both birds sharp and well exposed. I like the bird hidden in the grass - I would keep it.

I am with Allen. I like the bird screaming in the grass lower left. You might try Content Aware Fill or something else to eliminate the bright area of white right above the A in Ann. Interactions are always neat.
with love, artie

Fun action here Ann. I have seen this interaction many times there. And you have interesting poses on both of the main birds. Unique poses as well. We have all seen loads of skimmer images and this one stands out to me as being unique so very well done. I like the hidden birds as well. I do not like the darker out of focus grasses surrounding your signature. I would clone those out using the grasses further left and at the bottom of the frame as a source.
