Nice shot! They are a bit too far apart for my taste but it still works.

Well I can't complain about the composition being unbalanced on this one! Makes my eyes hurt zipping back and forth so much--kinda of like a ping pong match. Probably would like them a little closer too. Interesting capture.

You really got some nice Avocet images this year. Love the "bookends". A little closer together would be nice.....but it's really a nice image as is.

Great light and I like the idea but I think going in on one bird would be stronger. The reflection behind the bird on the right is a little distraction but not a big deal. Nice image.
