I intentionally cropped out the eye of this reddish egret to focus attention on the plight of the fish. I like it. My girlfriend however, was not impressed. So I thought I'd toss it out for you all to weigh in on. Thoughts? (Little Estero Bay, Florida, Canon 1d4 with Artie's 300/2.8, ISO 400: 1/2000s at 5.6)
I like a bizarro shot as much as the next guy, but (and I truly despise this expression) the shot doesn't do much for me. Not to my taste would be a more intelligent way of putting it. I would be glad to see the shot with the birdface back in, myself...
Hi Tim,
I don't know...The detail in the fish and the visible fish eye is excellent and I like the 3 little droplets. The strong diagonal line is good but I think I would like to see this image with the eye included so I can pronounce a verdict!!

Randy's got it covered for me too. I like your out-of-the-box thinking but this one just misses the mark IMO. Can we see what the full-frame image looks like, perhaps it would be worth including more of the face depending what the rest of the image looks like?
