Very nice capture of the pair Claude. I love the foot action on the male...... he's so excited about Spring (or his mate) that it looks like he's dancing! In looking at the larger version, It seems, to me, that a small crop off the top would help. Nice capture!

Cute action! I sort of agree on the cropping suggestion. I would try a square crop, Positioning the two birds at the lower thirds. Easy enough to do, although you might need to add canvas left and right while cropping from the top.
