I like the composition with the in and out of focus birds. I don't know the birds, but it could be perhaps a bit brighter? Whites look well protected, so maybe it is just bringing out the darker tones a bit more.

It is very interesting to see a OOF bird in the background, creating a three dimensional feel.

The birds look perfectly placed. I like how they are looking opposite. Agree the oof gives it a 3-d look.

+1. Agree with Karl but on my monitor it looks just a bit too dark, even though I realize your image was taken on a dark rainy day.

This is so cool Amy. Love it when viewed large too. As mentioned, the roof bird adds.

Make your life spectacular!

Gorgeous image, Amy! I love the rainy atmosphere and the out-of-focus grosbeak in the rear. Well done!

Love the 3D feel to this one. That bird is almost like a mirror image...

What an unusual effect - almost like its sitting in front of a mirror! Fascinating shot and nicely done, Amy!

It is a bit darker than how I usually edit, but I was going for a different kind of mood with the rain and the oof grosbeak in the bg. Thanks for all the comments and feedback everyone, I appreciate it!
