Lovely capture, Paul. I normally dislike a square format, but with the stem the bird is singing from leaning at a 45 degree angle, the format works well here.

Lovely shot Paul. I think I would have preferred either a bit more or a bit less on the lhs, but the crop is a matter of opinion and you have caught the scene beautifully.

You have captured the bird really well Paul. I'm not a fan of the square format either and it doesn't sit comfortably with me on this one. However I can see why you chose square as that realy does need to be shown in its entirety. Does the original show the whole of that lower LH stem and if so then perhaps including it might work.

It's a lovely image and I don't mind the square crop :smile:
Personally I wouldn't waste my time putting a bevelled border around it though, it's really not necessary IMO.
Well captured.

Geoff.
