Hi John, like the pano crop. My suggestion is a slight CW rotation; the bird is dead on but the vegetation in the bg is slanted and draws my eye. I like the softness and the detail in the underwings.

Even though the whites in some areas are pretty close to being clipped, I really like the feel to this one. The pano crop suits it nicely, and the landing pose is good. To my eye, based on the reflections of the vegetation, I actually would go for a slight CW rotation, and a tad more room on the left if you have it.

Oops, I had originally wrote CCW, my error, i got my right and lefts mixed up. I corrected the above comment i had made.

John, a very nice looking frame. I agree with the earlier comments on slight rotation. I do like the relatively high key look of the frame and the way you've handled the whites on the bird. A frame I'd be very happy to have in my portfolio. Thanks for sharing.

Great image. I love the overall looking on this one. Agree with the rotation and the more room on the LHS, I would also add a little more on the bottom if you have it. Thank you for sharing.
