The details that you captured in the birds is amazing. I can see the texture of almost every feather. The compostion, well.....not a fan. It looks like one bird with two heads. You goofed a little on the gaussian blur selections. You should have feathered your selection a little to limit the harsh outline of your birds. Nice picture, just practice some more on your editing skills for future challenges.

DOn't take me wrong tommy! I LOved this shot! But you know as weel as I do that you blurred in the background by the beaks that shouldn't have been? The one on the left has a bottom beak sticking out of the top one, and The one on the right looks like he's missing some too. I DO want to congratulate you, and I am not trying to take away from what you have done. Just some observations that I noticed, or I would have givene it a much better score. I just love the birds and the sharpness though!
