Is my crop a little too tight?

Hi Ian,
Terrific clear shot of this very elusive bird. I do find the crop too tight. I would also do some NR on the BG. Lovely pose and would love to see a repost with a looser comp,
Gail

Thanks, Gail! Here is another try. I've loosened up the crop a bit and done NR on the BG in Noiseware pro.

Aaah, much better!

Thanks. I agree -- it was too tight on the first go-around.

Very nice well detailed shot and I like the wider crop.
