Improvement #3

[Paul Lagasi]

I waited a while to post this, its the 3rd in a series of improvement keeper images. This was a very obliging bird. To bad for this one I had the 300, would have loved the 500.
left in the vegetation, rock....I couldn't crop any more than 50%.
I might re-crop taking a bit more off the bottom, to remove the blurry part.

Paul, I would leave the bottom, as you would cramp the tail even more. Good colours on the little guy, and a lower angle may have worked better.

Bit tight near the tail, but the diagonal line crossing the frame works. Nice and sharp as presented. Well done. :)

Hey Paul, too bad this guy is now gone as it was very approachable, even for 300mm. You did get nice habitat here...the rock looks quite natural compared to the "manicured" look that area has. I'd leave this crop as is too.
