What a great photo! The base shots are incredible, impressive work Cynthia. I also love the dogs expression, perfectly suited for the scene. I would have really expected to see this much higher in the challenge.
I really like this one, but I wish you would have adjusted the colors so they went together. Such awesome captures of the birds, but it doesn't work very well, because it looks too pasted together. 6 though, because of the great bird captures. :)
Well done, especially with the angles of the heads suiting thebody poses of thebirds. I somehow am wanting the head of the larger bird in blue and white to match his feathery bits ;-)
