Very beautiful Laura, like the intense landing pose, details and blurred wing tips, and sharp. I think this will work better in a vert. TFS

I like the stare, dangling feet and sharpness. Another vote for a vertical crop and a bit more room at the bottom.

Nice and sharp and good job on the exposure.

I like this crop or composition. A vertical would look good as well, but may have to add a bit to top as well as bottom.

I love this, I follow an osprey nest year to year. This so typical of them, a very hard pose to get. Well done, I agree with making the frame more vertical.

[Ed Cordes]

Super detail and pose. The wing position and outstretched legs with talons showing are just perfect. I would vote for either the suggested vertical crop or moving the bird off center to the left.

Thanks, guys! This is how I shot it, but I thought a vertical or square crop would make more sense for this pose too... Thanks much for your feedback!

I like the Idea here of a Square Crop adding just a bit of Canvas Lower-Right ;)
