Looks a little too high in the frame to me and a bit tight. If it were mine I would try a pano shot and look for more room left and right just to see what it would look like

Tough to pan with a ball head, Rick. I agree that a pano would be better with eliminating some of the bottom. The larger image seems over sharpened quite a bit. Was this a large crop?

I agree with Scott. That is of course if you have more image on the right and left.

Thanks for the helpful comments. I will rework this at a later time. My larger view was my first attempt at doing so and does not look as I would like. Keep on shooting...

Hi Rick,
Welcome to NPN, great action you captured here. I agree with a crop from the bottom and just a touch more room in front if you have it. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.
