Trying to catch up from being so far behind...

Wow, no 1s. That's an accomplishment. That's an amazing capture, and the pure "difficulty" factor garnered you a lot of high votes. Your photography has come a LONG ways recently. The composition here is strong, even though I don't think I would have cropped it quite this way.

A new PB! Great shot too. I love the open beaks. The color is excellent. Except for the bright flash, which you noted, I don't really see anything that could be improved. And you didn't even get a single one! Way to go!

If I had more time I was going to go down and take a picture of the same building (I have one in my portfolio now).

Good job!

Great picture. :) I really like how they're lined up, facing each side of the frame. Great capture. I like the colour treatment, and the way their mouths pop out of the image (literally too I suppose). Overall the tone seems uniform, and I think a flash head that you could bounce around would really have improved the lighting. Really great overall.
