Reasonable Concern

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Captured this image last month at the Bosque del Apache Refuge. A juvenile Bald Eagle flew just a bit close for comfort as far as these geese were concerned. C&C welcome.

These are such difficult images to get right.
The sun was definitely up so the light is a bit brighter than I normally like but it does provide for a nice colorful palette.
I like the 3 "layers" ie. birds on the bottom, birds in flight near you and BIF in the distance in the upper 1/3.)
But I do not like the cut off heads of the geese on the RHS. Do you have a bit more canvas?

Thanks Gail. No. The only crop is a bit off the top. I also didn't like the heads lopped off on the right and I was going to crop into the nearest wing of the goose center right edge. Can be a tough choice where to crop.
