I'm sure there's some purpose to those things. ...no, actually I'm not. Love the image, though!

This is so great in many ways...it brings back memories too as an published writer. I really have to try to emulate this someday. I need to grub a cigarette off someone first haha. Great job!

Comment by ubique:
Such wonderful knees! This is a particularly interesting picture because of the two specimens are depicted doing different things. So we see clearly what the bird looks like in the central version, and we see why it looks that way in the right-had version. A wildlife photograph that reveals something interesting about the subject: isn't that the genre's ultimate raison d'être? To which I say yep. Thank you.

Very pleasing. Glad you included the pools of water, providing both balance and environmental context. Possibly a tad over-sharpened, there is a little haloing around the birds.
