Nice but for the head angle of the bird on the left that I believe is the male.

Hi Artie, thank you for viewing and commenting. No, nothing was removed, only cropped. I did all the processing in Lightroom Classic/ACR.Originally Posted by Arthur Morris

Hi Joe, these are very striking subjects with their punchy orange bills and black hair do's.
Ground level, perfect.
As you do 99% in Lr:
Here is a thought, WB Temp -4, Tint -1, create a Linear mask from the foot the image up to the top of the sand bar the birds are on, -0.33 Exp, -10 Black, Temp 10 subtle...
