    I have been using a shorter lens for looser crops, but here is perhaps more to the folks liking here?

    I love it. Beautiful colours! I prefer the closer crop. It feels more 'intimate' and you have not snipped off anything of value from the wider crop. They're a bit lower in the pic too, which is more attractive to the eye.

    Great look at this beautiful pair. The techs look perfect and the detail is all there. You probably know I like tighter comps so the second one is my vote as it concentrates the eyes on the colorful ducks. Nice work Dan.
