black-capped night heron

crop?
other suggestions?
1st is uncropped, second is cropped, a few more tweaks
While the uncropped feels too "large", in some ways finding the bird in a large amount of foliage appeals. Second, cropped version seems a bit more standard to me but somehow not quite right.

of course, someone is likely to suggest the obvious. Something in the middle. Crop from the right a bit?

Here's a take on your requested tweener crop. Cropped just a touch off the left side @ remove the metal/wood looking item. Cloned the twig @ left side.

+1 @ Ben Nice shot. You seem to be taking to the Tammy nicely and it seems to play with your 7D better than your 100-400 did (that or you changed up your processing).

I think the big advantage of a tight crop if the IQ allows is that the bird is bigger and we can see the detail better. I do like the tighter crop for that reason, especially for web display.

This is a very nice shot by the way.

I rather like the second crop, although maybe a bit more negative space to stand on might help:

Agreed. Wish I had shot a bit lower.
Thanks Karen. Nicely "fixed"
