    Cool, it just needs a different crop. Take some off the top and right, don't be afraid.

    Agree with the crop idea but do think its very appealing Might work on the bird's left eye to make it totally clear !! Love the creativeness here !!!

    hahaha, good catch. Always a good one to enter in one of the "what is this" contests?

    Certainly has some potential.

    It works for me and I agree on a tighter crop.

    I like it too. I've been after this comp for awhile now, but have yet to acheive "the one". The best I've gotten so far is framing them with dead grass, and trying not to have so much across the eyes. Definitely like where you're going with it though!

    Thanks everyone.

    Bob, this is from when you and I were out on the IPT at the same nest.

    LOL - I remember having this discussion with you then! If I dig through my images, I probably have some similar ones. Someday I'll get the one I want. I think it'll be a cool composition when all the elements line up properly.

    It works! I once took a shot of a leopard like this and then always battled to find him in the photo. . . .
