Is this crop too tight?

[Fabs Forns]

Hehehe, you DID get him :)
I think you could go a little darker, the legs and ankles look too light, maybe adding some black to neutrals in Selective color will help. Good for you!
Crop fine by me unless you are going to print it.

Nicely done Lady Denise,
I like the capture...he looks hungry...:D:p I would just tone down the warm spots on the legs...well done...:cool:

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Really a nice one Denise. Looks like you both had a good catch. Lovely exposure and excellent eye contact. Glad you enjoyed your trip to the sunny south !!!!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Agree with Fabs. Great catch by both of you, but too bad the prey wasn't facing our way instead...that would have been over ther top! It may be an illusion but looks like the image may need a bit of CW rotation.
