    From this evening....the birds will be leaving soon as summer draws to a close.

    Thanks for looking.

    I like the peaceful, serene look in your image. Kind of conveys a good bye in a way. If you know what I mean. Like a final glance before they leave your shores. Love the low perspective. I am not 100% as I have no histogram here, but am I correct to say some blacks appear a little blocked? I'd love a little more room below too. Thanks for sharing. :)

    It will be sad ! Well done on this. I would actually take some off the top to move the eyes more into the upper 1/3 as I would with a person.

    I like Lou's idea and might try to lighten the eye just a bit. These bird's eyes are always a problem. At least you can still make lemonade from lemons. This is a sweet portrait.

    I like the soft texture of the image and the low angle. Perfect DOF. I would like to see more detail in the blacks and also in the eye.

    Nice image. I like the mood that the out of focus foregrounds establishes. I agree with others that it might be worth the effort to get more details in the blacks.

    I like the mood, angle and light in this one. Maybe a bit more room at the bottom?

    My thought exactly.
