A tough one to crop with the head looking right and the tail going left. I at first felt a bit more room for the tail but I am finding the image to be well balanced as presented.
My first reaction was very similar to Robert's, but I think you have managed very well here and I can't think how I would have changed the crop. Nice expression.
Hi Ben,
I like this image of a yellow mongoose. Beautiful light and low POV. My immediate reaction was for more space to the right, but the tail prevents any further addition. Under the circumstances I agree with Robert and Hilary.
Thanks for sharing,
Mark.
Ben, for me one of your best images shared here to date, certainly as far as IQ and processing goes .
I like the compo as presented (had he looked left it would have been better), but do wish for the slightest sliver more space behind the tail...
