Trumpeter in a big hurry with no where to run -- Thoughts needed on canvas extension
Good day:
At the local bird sanctuary this AM. It was 57 degrees warmer than last weekend when I was there, and the birds were moving. Felt almost like spring was in the air, both temperature wise and because of the feisty bird activity.
The trumpeters were blasting about chasing each other. This guy was quite close and I didn't have time to move to give myself more room to frame with. But, I did like the action in the image, with flying water and striding feet, as well as the shadow of his head on the near wing. The issue of course is, too tight on the right side. I tried several of my usual techniques to expand the canvas, but wasn't happy with the result.
Would appreciate any thoughts on the subject! I can send a larger image to anyone who wants to take a crack at it.

Post: full frame. Toned down the whites, sharpened selectively, lightened the face a bit.
As always I appreciate your input, and esp. on the matter of the canvas extension.
Cheers
