Sometimes they just won't fit in the frame.

When this Great Egret took off toward me, just before sunset at Chincoteague, I had no choice but to clip wings and legs. But I thought it made for an interesting perspective.

Beautiful! Golden light and sharpness makes up for any so called shortfalls ;)

Excellent image with superb evening lights and great detail.

Beautiful light, Bill.
Sometimes I think heavy cropping is just as effective as seeing the full monty and this is one of those cases. But I wonder what it would look like cropping harder on the right and bottom - it could becomes almost geometric and add another dimension.

Yes I see the idea Bill and it works for me, lovely light and you really have captured some fine details there - well done.

(Satish you have my sympathy I tried that App and I couldn't wait to get rid of it - just couldn't get on with it)

Hi Bill, sweet, sweet light, and overall well exposed for what we can see in the frame. Nice and sharp on the head, and I do like the feather detail on the near wing.

Thank you all.
