    I like the low angle and front bird, but your previous offering of a flamingo pair had much more impact IMO. The far bird's hidden face is too bad, and the dark patch in the BG above the pair is somewhat distracting. I like the transition and different colour layers from water to land to hill (except for said patch).

    Too bad they wouldn't fully cooperate but still pretty cool!
    Wonderful detail and background and nice job on the exposure.

    Might like to see just a tad more room at the bottom.
    Also, this might be one of those cases where centering the subjects would also work nicely.

    I agree, I do wish I could see the other bird's eye. I also wonder if centering the birds in the frame might be a nicer touch.

    Mital-bhai, This one goes down as an almost... Almost good. It is a bit on the dark side overall, and the big black area above the birds drags the eye there. SH is right on. I have confidence that you will one day get the perfect heart shape with these birds.
