A little advice if you please. It seems like a good shot but not quite sure?

I would have gone vertical on this shot and given more head room for the top bird. The focus and subject are great.

I noticed the sign and the cable stand, but did not notice the second bird until I read Art's "the top bird" comment. I think a much tighter crop would simplify the scene and make the image stronger.

This is one of those many so so shots that are so close to being a great shot. I would suggest that with the correct composition the shot can meetits full potential.
Read up on the Rule of Thirds, and recrop it. The Rule of Thirds will really help the shog glow. Good luck, and looking forward to seeing more of your work.

You could do a tight crop and remove most all of the blurred portion. David

The issue I see now is the subject is dead center, and is somewhat static. Maybe crop the birds left or right, depending on which looks best. I would probably crop the left side out until the birds are in the left 1/3 vertical line, as the telephone pole is a nice leading line that draws the eye to your subject.Art where you thinking more like this?

Thank you Art and for your input earlier that helped me in the new composition. And Thanks to all the other input that helped too.
