Excellent shot!! Cropping about a third of the distance between the back of the bird and the top would make it even stronger IMHO.
Oh, he just missed...Lovely wing position, I like Ofer's idea on taking some off the top. Lovely stuff Giovanni!
Ok but if I take some off the top for make a regular shoot (31x20) I must reduce also the splash of the fish or the space in front of the eagle.
What you think about ?
Although I am a 2:3 freak I do admit that not every image can fit into this framing. I have no problem with a panorama crop. However, if I get a photo that needs to be cropped as a square I just put it in the bin as sad as it is...(a mental issue - I know...)
Your original image is fine but I just think that a pano works a bit better - nothing major...![]()
Great job capturing this one.. I would like to see more on the right side, I find the top needs to stay in order to give room for the "splash" that is traveling upward.

I prefer Ofer's crop, it focuses on the bird more.
It would take it up another notch if the left wing is a bit higher..
Good timing again. Bird flying away is less than ideal. May we assume that the birds in this series are baited?
