I had both vertical with 1/2 body and full body with no legs. I liked this one. Full frame as bird was very close no room for me to maneuver.
Canon 40D, 400 f/5.6L
1/640. f/7.1, ISO 320
Cloudy WB, Today before 10:00am.
I thought about a shorter lens when I downloaded but not while the was happening. I will look and see if a stitch is possible. I think this may be a younger bird.:)
