What to do with this? Best mocker image for me so far, wasn't planned, I just happened to catch bird out of the corner of my eye. In the car using a bean bag, full frame, looped off tail and legs, created the impression of legs:( Do I crop, try and create a tail? Or just give it up?

All I can think of is some crop of the head only. Something like this:

Nonda you got a great image with a excellent feel and detail Just was tight and some body parts went missing in the process !!! I'm sure you will nail one next time Axel's crop looks very good Keeper in my book !!!!!

Nonda, I think you did a good job creating the impression of legs/feet! (-:
Since the tail and bg are oof, it wouldn't be that hard to create the rest of the tail and fill in the canvas....would probably look fine as long as you are a competent cloner! Axel's portrait crop is very nice too.

Nonda, it really is a lovely image...but the tail feathers sure would have been nice. Very nice light, attractive background, and the angle sure looks nice for photographing from a car! Like Alfred said, you'll be ready next time!
