I will try to do a hasty run through giving my impressions.

Lovely shape of the bird and potential for a really good shot.
Potential is good but which bird has it? I like to call the one on
the right the shelterer and the one on the left the shelteree. Kind
of goes with the title.
......... I know one can't get ideal conditions but that doesn't
change the shortcomings for me.
Sometimes less than ideal conditions can lead to interesting pictures.
Perhaps a stylization using PS filter could lead to a great
decorative piece but not natural if that is what you absolutely have to have.
I am not sure exactly what you mean by this but any image editing
extensive enough to qualify as stylization would, in my estimation,
only detract attention from the birds and what they have got up to.
The birds are, after all, the sole reason for taking the shot on a
cold, wet, and foggy morning. I feel you have missed the point of the
image and frankly, I don't see how.
