Please critique my composite image?

[KDJ Imagery and Graphics]

Can anyone give me some feed back on this image and tell me if you can spot the composite birds? I am trying to make a image for a full magazine cover bleed and trying to shoot multiple birds in one shot is well rather impossible. This image was more or less a test image, I had wanted to have the background and foreground in focus but shooting with a telephoto lens the only way I can achieve it is to focus stack the two images together. My initial shots didn't work because I moved the lens slightly in the second shot and I couldn't align them properly! Thanks for any feedback!

If you are asking us to review your photo for a private, non Adobe contribution, then you are in the wrong forum. Regardless, I can tellyou that the photo does not meet the Adobe standards.

This is what I see:

1- There is a major focus issue. Nothing is in focus and there appears to be movement around the pink flowers.

2- The photo is poorly cropped and cluttered. The birds are the primary subject but are lost in the photo.

3- The photo is very noisy.

4- The colors are over saturated.

5- The shadows are underexposed. The flowers are overexposed.

I hope this helps.
