Some compression artifacts on the birds...either from the JPG conversion or too much sharpening/contrast enhancement.

I find that before plan is too important for the subject and then there is this spot sunk on the right.

In a word: WOW

Stunning vibrant tones and I love the subject being so far from the front of the shot. Nice and very artfully created.
