Hi Bill Would crop from top and bottom for proportion and then leave more space up front Best not to center the bird. I like the pose and direct look Catching these little guys is a labor of love !!! btw would also suggest going at it wide open to minimize the bg
Good suggestions by Al! I would add that the eye isn't as sharply focused as I'd like to see it. The area of sharpest focus appears to be the body behind the leg. Keep up the good work Bill!
