Very nice shot - like the crop. What if you backed off on the red crown saturation just a bit?

Hi Richard

With the wing position/detail and sharp head sort of wish you had the entire bird .... never seen a crop like this but does look good !!! ... btw agree on the red desat !!!

[Bob Decker]

I really like this crop. I'm suspect that a little more room in front for him "to move into" would strengthen the composition a bit.

[Lance Peters]

Hi Richard - Different - but nothing wrong with that - I quite like it - Might just desat the reds a tad.
Cool :)

Mr. Waas...I like it as presented...sharp feather details, good color rendition, and sharp eye...good show...:cool:

Richard, nice take on the crane shot! I like the high-key values on the bird and the crop is original for sure. Nice work!
