I'm sure everyone with bird feeders has noticed just a little more activity lately. Here are a couple of finches waiting to make a run for it. Too much separation between them? Thoughts/comments always appreciated.

Birds have no sense of aesthetics. You should have urged them to move closer!
Actually, the positioning at 1 and 6 O'clock is not bad. Nice capture.

The positioning if fine IMO. Most people are going to get caught up in the perfect exposure and excellent detail and not even consider their positions relative to one another. A stone cold beauty!

Looks pretty good to me. The ice detail helps bring things together.

Bill, I think the positioning is fine. I like the way the bird up top is watching the one below.

Bill I like this. I believe with the top one looking down upon the lower, the separation is not an issue at all. With all the hardship that such an ice storm brings to folks, this is a beautiful image that brings mother natures beauty out.

It works for me, great detail Bill

Looks great to me, and I agree with what Tom said above, I really like the way the top bird is looking down at the one below.
