Good interaction between the two. Wish for a lower angle and that the tails weren't cut off.

84mm? Is this full-frame? If not I would add some canvas back to include the full tails. I finding some of the darks too dark - you may be able to pull some detail out in your RAW converter (if you use RAW), orwith too S/H tool in PS. BG a bit oo busy, and I wish the whole clump of branches in ULC was not there. Excellent interaction indeed. The wing up on one individual, and the berry in the bill of the other are two very cool elements that you were able to capture :-)

Thanks for the critiques. I did shoot in RAW, so I can try and work one dark areas some. That is the full frame unfortunately so I cant do much about that.
