I like the crop. It actually focuses the composition more on the bird than showing the entire scene. The posture of the bird also plays into it's location in the scene, creating a visual line that draws the eye to the bird.
I like both but think the crop has the edge. I've had a quick look back at some of the photos I missed and as always they are lovely. It was great to see the Wryneck (I realise it was from last year), I have never seen one apart from in books but have always wanted to, such a strange little bird.
Now if we could just have the bird a couple of inches to the right...................be an interesting clone job!!! It is a grand image as it is.

El picapinos es una de las aves más bellas del medio forestal. Una buena foto de la especie.

ReplyDeletePerfect, the subject is framed by the branches and rule of the thirds has been applied.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to be back Trevor :)
