Note the dramatic shift on the left side of the background from green to black. It's natural, but is a bit distracting to me. Thoughts on touching it up to eliminate the dark area? The water reflection would need changed as well.
Cheers!
Before worrying about the dark blotches in the BKGR do consider the head angle on the front bird. The head of the crane in the foreground is angled slightly away from you. Compare that with the head angle of the bird in the rear which is A-OK. There are lots of good thread on Head Angle in the Educational Resources forum.
