I like your idea for the juxtaposition of the birds, however i find the square crop a bit awkward for the composition, in my opinion, it should have more room in front, or be vertical. You handled the side light pretty good, but to take it over the top, you need to look at small details as having the two bills parallel to each other and the last one feet's reflection not coming out of the first one's tail. Beautiful light and good exposure.
Hi Bob,
I like the juxtapostition of the birds; it makes the picture special.
I think the birds eye is a tad too soft. Maybe you can add some sharpening around the eye?
