Swooped upon?

It's hard to see the birdies. Maybe cut back on the contrast?

One example where color doesn't add anything to the picture but detracts. Switching to b&w would allow to dodge and burn more effectively to emphasize the birds and what is going on.

+1. But it's going to be tough to separate those birds from their background.

If the guy put some of the birdseed on his hard hat, the separation would be easier. ;)

Thanks for the feedback. Because the birds were black and white i thought the contrast between the colour and the birds was best. Russ quite rightly stated any more separation would be hard.

that's the kind of photo that could inspire a novel or movie about a "regular working man". great!
have you tried a 2:1 crop?
edit: regarding color, how about reduced saturation rather than black and white?

Personally I never crop with a ratio in mind only with content in mind. A reduced saturation approach looks like a worthy idea.
