Lovely light. I would have loved to place it to the right. I would also have tried a vertical composition.

Hi Ken Fully agree on going vertical on this one !!! Strongest part have to be the eyes !! Would also select and lighten the right eye !!! Excellent !!!

[D. Robert Franz]

I would also like the vertical comp. I think it would be a stronger image. Great light and love the eyes..

Hey Ken,
How unfortunate and sad.......but that's nature! I think the issue with the horizontal crop is........I'm guessing.......the body of one of the other brothers???........because without it.....this would work! With it..........agree with others above.

I was priviliged to be there.

If I were you, I would say the same thing. Watching these beautiful creations of God, is certainly a privilege.

The vertical repost looks much better. Thanks for sharing.

Nice light on this one Ken. Vertical has much more impact.
