You probably don't need me to say that ideally, they wouldn't be flying out of the frame*
That said, if this is a crop - and you have an uncropped capture with more space on the left - it might be worth a revisit - it's just a thought.
While I'm thinking, if you were trying to tell a story; e.g. flying to warmer climes to escape the winter cold, rather than monochrome, you could perhaps partially tint this, giving a slightly warmer (yellow/red) tint to the bright area and/or cooler (blue) tint to the darker areas. I'd be very subtle about this though, it should barely be noticeable.
That said, I see it isn't actually monochrome anyway, very low level blue, so perhaps a slight boost of the yellows in the highlights alone might achieve this.
HTH, Dave
