    Humberto, loved the action, the raised foot, the backlight and the ultra-low shooting angle. Excellent BG as well. The rimlight on the right wing is awesome.

    If mine, I'd crop to have the bird a little to the left in the frame.

    Thanks Kaustubh,

    Do you mean croping to left but maintaining the same size on the bird, or just croping tho the left resizing the heron?

    Humberto, I dont know what you have in the orig. If there is more room on the right, then I'll keep some more there and crop some from the left. I like the pano crop....but feel that the heron is too centered.

    Do agree with comp, it a bit to central. I love the pose and water splash. The backlight also works nicely TFS

    Everything about the pic is so good. Agree with Kaustubh on the crop, seems a bit too centered.

    Agree with the other on the crop but I do love the backlit wings.

    Humberto, yes the repost is on the lines I was suggesting(bird not centered) but if mine, I wouldn't go so tight. A little but equal room on all sides in the repost would be my suggestion.

    On all sides you mean on all 4 sides? I think that if I crop on both the situations, the bird would be center anyway...do you mind to crop my first image to give me an example? (I think I understand the idea, but not sure)...
