YC Juvi on the Beach

I thought I had already posted this, but didn't see it in my gallery. They are quite common in Bayou Sauvage, but this is the first I have noticed on the beach in Gulfport, shot August 2014. Cropped to 4x5 format from top.

Bill, nice clean shot of this youngster. I feel it is a little cramped horizontally. I tried stretching out the left side to a 1:1 format. Hope you don't mind my using your image. cool

Thanks, Phil. I also thought the original was cramped, always appreciate suggestions. I might consider going with a 6x7 aspect.

Nice image, Bill. I like the pose. In the larger image,it looks like the neck becomes soft, then the head sharpens up a bit again. Did you selectively sharpen the head?

Great bird but it gave you some tough options with the crop. I prefer the second and I also think it could use a bump in saturation
