Ken,
the image looks technically fine considering that this is a rather large crop. I like the two different wing poses of the birds as well.
I would have considered to crop a bit different, leaving less space at the right and more at the left in which the birds are flying in.

Nice work getting two sharp in the frame like this Ken. I do agree with Cay-Uwe regarding the comp. Do you have the room on the left?

Cool shot, Ken. That's an interesting way of them holding their feet.

Thanks for your comments.
I do have more room, but for me the birds are not flying towards the left?

I too like the orientation of the birds' wings. Nice the way their color complements the subtle hue of the background.
