Nice job getting both birds in focus, Sandy. I really like the pose of the right bird. The birds look great, but I think I would tempted to selectively reduce the saturation and/or vibrance in the blues and greens in the water.

Great pose on the male's part, Sandy.  Pretty typical female indifference (or at least the appearance of it).  Seems to be a fairly general bird trait.
