I don't like the angle that you have taken this shot. There is too much going on at the bottom of the picture. I would have cropped and used top 1/3rd of the tower with the 2 larger birds only.

I think the tilt, cropping (?), and crisp color made what could have been ordinary, very stunning.

Comment by melismatica:
I understand the idea behind the tilted format (bird's freewheeling point of view) but I'm not sure it's working with so much going on at the bottom. Perhaps if it were cropped to exclude some of the bottom portion? If you look at only the bottom half of the photo it is a very visually cluttered shot. The top half (from just above the light fixture) works a little better. I'm not a fan of tilted shots so I'm probably a bit biased.

Personally. I would have croped the people and that area out because i like the tower and the birds alot, and the down part of the photo is distracting that..
