    Maddening, to try to get two birds with pleasing postures to photograph. I settled on this image from many. I captured this image of two Roseate Spoonbills early last Saturday morning along Blackpoint Wildlife Drive in Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Merritt Island, Florida. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Joe, the subdued palette could really make an impactful image here with the pink pop and the disappearing water.

    The subtle rain droplets on the water really adds interest for me. I had to study to notice them but they don't overwhelm.

    I think Dan may have an idea if you have the pixels to isolate the right most subject. Perhaps if they had the exact same pose, were facing each other or even more toward the camera it could work better with both.

    See what you think but worth a shot IMO.
