The two of them....

[Rosl Roessner]

Saw the two Sparrows on that fancy trunk, sitting in the rain.
May be that there is too much dead room on top, but I don't like a horizontal composition with the birds sitting upright and the special kind of pearch.
But may be, I am wrong, and you have a better idea?

I see your point Rosl and agree on the composition Rather have the room than having to make it tight at the sides to keep ratio Sure wish the rain was a little stronger does make a good impact on the image !!!! Different and I like it !!!1

[Todd Frost]

I like this one also. You might look at more of a square crop as a alternative.

[Kaushik Balakumar]

I agree with your views regarding composition.
lovely image - nice details considering the fact that u shot at ISO1600.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I agree with Todd that a square comp is a good alternative. Is it me, or is there a slight greenish cast? Anyhow, beautiful image...I like the visible inclement weather.

[Jim Poor]

Great back to back pose on these birds. How about a square?

[Sid Garige]

Tight crop? Like the pose and rain drops.

[Bonnie Block]

Very nice--like it alot!
Very different and fresh image.

[Peregrine Craig Nash]

I like it as well agreee with square crop.

[Gus Cobos]

I like you image, composition is balanced on both sides, colors are beautifull and the sprinkle from the rain adds a very nice touch...:)

Congrats...:D
