I don’t mind the relative positions of the birds, Sandy. The light was gorgeous and you captured it very well. Given the flow of this image, I could see a little less room on the left and a little more room on the right, if you have it.

Nice composition on the repost, Sandy.

Hi Sandy, nice catch of these two birds with them pretty much in the same focal plane. Must be a pretty birdy area. Exposure looks good. I like the repost with more room for them to look into.
