This image was shot by my wife, Kelly, last July from the car in the Minesing Wetlands near Barrie, ON. This was a heavy crop around 60%, just wondering what you guys think of the square crop and if the plant in the right is a distraction. Thanks for looking.

I like the plant actually. It tends to soften the stump a bit.
Nice separation on the birds, excellent head angle on right bird, a bid away on the left. Well exposed.
I looked at the image in PS and cropped a bit up from the bottom to reduce the impact of the stump. Set the black point on the darkest area of the image, which increased the bite a bit, and helped decrease the slight green color cast on the birds. There is a little noise showing up in the background, which would benefit from some noise reduction.
Hope to see some more. Congrats to Kelly.

Very nice shot. I like the habitat, perch and interaction between the birds. I wonder if lightening up the area around the left birds eye would help improve the photo. I like the suggested crop and might also consider a bit of a crop from right, to just about the small orange mark in lrc. Well done and looking forward to more. Dave
I like the soft light, interaction, BG and plant. Randy's repost looks pretty good.
For future reference, images can be 1024 pixels horizontally but only 800 pixels vertically. Keep them coming!
Love the subtle colors and the interaction between the birds. I like the crop of the repost but the colors of the original seem to have a little more depth. Nice shot
