p.1 #1 · Eastern Kingbird

I just joined the forum and this is my first post. Might as well start out with one of my better bird shots. This one was too far away, and I've cropped it as much as I dare. In addition to levels/curves adjustment and n/r, I copied some leaves into the lower right corner (I didn't like the dead space there) and applied a little blur to the background. C&C always welcome.

You're off to a great start. The image looks very good. How much do you crop down too?

Here's the original. I cropped it more than I would have liked. My T1i doesn't take too well to severe crops.
