Hi Cheryl,I like your choice of bird combinations and they work well together.The textured blue backround and choice of filters are also appealing. I've been debating about eliminating the upper leaf area and after going back and forth I feel I would crop the image right below the bottom leaf. I would also clone out the small branch merging with the birds tail. Finally, I would fix a small section on the lower left part of the branch thats blurry.
I like the leaves on top, and would only remove the little bit that freely presents itself centrally. I like the BG and your idea. That blue BG looks like a wall that's freshly painted. So well done! Thanks for sharing. :)
