Hola Diana, glad to see you posting here! I like the soft light a lot and the very unusual composition. (I only wish for a higher position of the bird in the frame, but just a little bit) The action is very good and the frog is a fantastic bonus. Great eye contact, background and excelent exposure job.

Here is the info on the image:

Model: Canon EOS 30
Lens (mm): 500
ISO: 400
Aperture: 4.5
Shutter: 1/2000
Exp. Comp.: +1.0

Very cool shot, perfect timing, nice and sharp also.
Alternatives crop may improve the image, i let the expert provide suggestions.

Very nice Diana! Cool action with the little crab in the air! Sharpness and exp are very good on the red. I agree that a crop from the top would improve the image. In my repost, I reduced noise in the BG with Noise Ninja, added saturation in the blue eye only, lightened the white point about 6 points with a levels layer, cropped from the top and finally I added a bit of canvas to the bottom. What do you think?

Great juggling act, Diana. I like Dan's crop, but prefer the colors in the original.

Another vote for Dan's crop just a little less saturation !!! This image you can post anywhere !!!!! Love seeing that crab in mid air about to become a snack !!! Doing well Diana proud of you !!!

Thanks, yes I like it better with the Dan´s Crop. Thanks for the suggestions.

Saludos,

Diana

Agree with Fabs on this one, like Dan's crop but your color, great timing and beautifully done.
