Great image, would have been better with a bit more space above the birds and I'm not real sure about that frame I don't think it gives any enhancement to an already sweet image.

I like this. It makes me feel like I'm fixing to launch a boat. 10

Interesting composition and toning. I'm left wondering what they are both looking at, outside the frame. Blow out in whites and seems quite noisy. 6

I like the way they are balanced on the ropes, and balanced between them (one crest up, one faceing forward, etc.) Nice use of color. I'm glad you were able to get such good focus. 9

Not sure if the sepia tone works here or not. The birds are nicee, just not sure about the background.

What an interesting photo! Well balanced and sharp. I would have liked to have seen the smaller bird have a bit more headroom but otherwise, excellent. Good luck!

lovely birds & setting, but compostion is wrong - I don't know what the focus is meant to be - would've been better concentrating on a single bird.

Nice contrast. I like the cropping. The chains add interesting texture. Good job.

Very good capture here, shame about the horrible pp. Selective desaturation AND sepia? On a bird photo? Sometimes less is more.
