It would have been nicer with a small step to my left. I needed to create a little separation between the top two. 50D, 70/200 f/4 and 1.4TC, f/5.6, 1/500, ISO800. Dave
I like the composition idea, more separation might have been nice but you would have to go to an even steeper angle or move to your left. I might clone out the rain drops on the OOF birds.
I like the pattern, but must agree with the excelent self critique. Love the look and the head angle on the primary subject. And the water droplets.

Thank you both for the comments. As an aside, Axel has kindly commented several times on color casts in my photos. All I had needed to do to get several options to deal with the issue was to read six pages further on in ABPII, so thanks to Arthur again.
