I try few crop options, still not happy cutting the tree on the left side, but including the branch will double the sizes of the picture leaving "small" subjects on the frame.
I love it! The composition works for me. You were working in some nice light with some beautiful subjects. I love the eye contact with the bird on the left. The head angle police might bust you for his less attentive buddy. In my humble opinion this is a wonderful image. Thanks for sharing.
I think any image that evokes a reaction is a good one. This does it for me. Love how one bird is perfectly together, and the other a bit wind blown. Great work.
