    Funny! I like the overall scene, but a couple of things could have made it better IMO. One is a lower angle (if possible - I know it ain't always) to throw the BG even more out of focus, and two, a better HA for a better connection with the viewer. I'm surprised at the amount of contrast for what looks like overcast/wet conditions...I'd back off on it to give the image a softer feel light-wise.

    Thanks for posting this, it put a smile to my face!

    Agree with Daniel's critique. terrific moment. A round of sharpening on the birds :-) will definitely improve it.

    Daniel and Kaustubh captured my thoughts well.

    Agree with the above though I think the HA is probably more important than the angle which I think is not too bad.
