Beautiful BG, If you have it, i would add some canvas at the bottom and move the birds a little to the right .

Haim:

I like the poses with the two different head angles, both good. It is nice that there is no merge of the heads or necks. The body merge is OK here I think.

To my eye, the image is underexposed, and the highlight slider could be pulled in a bit to brighten the image, perk up the whites, without losing detail in the blacks.

I might also consider just a bit of a crop form the right. I know the left bird is looking that way, but I think the overall balance would be OK with just a bit of crop, perhaps 20% of the open space.

I also wish there was a bit more room below to show more of the mound.

All, in all, a very interesting picture.

Cheers

Hi Haim.
I must agree with Randy on the exposure. What exposure mode did you use and did you have any exposure comp? From your settings the light must have been a bit harsh?
