This juvenile yellow crowned night heron had an embarrassing moment as it passed through the TSA checkpoint to enter Big John's Pond in the Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Sanctuary here in New York City.

Brilliant timing and very witty caption, morris!
If I were you, I'd crop the picture and place the subject in the left part of the frame.

Thank you Twoflower,

If I were to place the subject in the left side of the frame the flying feathers would be gone. You may have seen enough of my work to know that my subject is rarely in the center of the frame so why did I do it this time?

Rule of thirds is just one of many compositional principles. I bet your eyes jumped right to the subject and stuck on it even though it is in the middle of the frame. These are the principles I used in this composition:

- Natural frame created by the branches

- leading line comming out of both of the lower corners

- strong diagonals

- Contrast in colors

Still want to move the subject out of the center?
