The one on the right is the 'baby' - look at the tailfeathers and beak.
Quality was poor but 'submitted anyway'. Too reluctant to totally clone out the leaves in the foreground due to 'major element', which in my opinion, it is.

i think this shot would be a lot stronger without the leaf in the way. its a wonderful idea and great composition (without the leaf). could use a little more color saturation, or perhaps make is a black and white shot.
Hope I am not being too rude saying this - but I find it amazing that you have so much to say (criticise) on other peoples photos. How come you dont put it into practice on your own photos?
would love to hear your thoughts on this image as to how it fits the challenge
I love the image ...the lines the balance but I am having a tough time matching it to the theme
