Hi Keith,

Nice detail in the WT with the beak open too. Perhaps a landscape format would have improved it with less space at the top and more on the right.

Hello Keith.

Love the pose and the open beak and eye contact are great.

For me the composition is letting it down. Agree with Lewis a landscape format might have worked better. But I do also think a verticale format would suit this image. It would need.some of the top and left with more canvas on the bottom.

The alert posture and open beak make for a dynamic image. Compositionally I think the image would work better with the bird more towards the top of the frame.

Great pose and detail on the bird Keith but I too would preferred this in a landscape format. For me the forked branch at top detracts from the overall image.

Thanks to you all,i did try different formats but i think my problem started by taking the shot when the bird was at the bottom of the perch.I will take some of the top. :smile:
