Hi Joel Getting one is hard enough and you managed two .. with a great bg !!! I like your aperture selection for blurring the bg bird, similar poses do make for a stronger image Good PS work ! Got a keeper !!!

[Lance Peters]

Hi Joel - agree with AL - lots to like here - like the OOF bird in the bG with the mirrored pose.
Bg looks good.
Big Congrats :)

Hi Joel,interesting idea and agree with others. I would prefer a bit more room on the left...

[Kristin Brown]

Joel, I like it. I have always like the idea of the mirrored but out of focus pose but have never managed to think any of mine were keepers. You have hit the mark with this one. Congrats.
