Dan, cool shot. Check out the face on the one on the right. That makes the whole image for me. I would like to see a lower angle. That face kills me!

Alan is right, that face on the right is amazing. If you have the chance, I would go back and work on shooting just a head shot at this same angle. It would be a killer.
In fact, since you shot this on a 10D, you might be able to get away with a strong crop on this very shot.

Gee, Dan. I think that I recognize those hungry buggers. Was I just out of frame holding a big sardine? Artie

You're right on, Artie. The expressions are priceless. That was a great workshop, and I'm looking fwd to this spring.

No hypnotizing the birds to get pictures now. :) Love that mesmerized expression.

I didn't realize they were so comical looking. :D Those faces really make the shot for me.

This is funny as all get up. On a more serious note, you whites on the chest are totally blown out. I'd say you needed to adjust your exposure some to preserve them.
