Cropping my duck?

[TommySharp]

I'd be interested to hear some thoughts on how this photo could be better cropped?

All I've done to the photo is adjusted the levels but haven't cropped it yet....

Thanks

I reallly like it as is, if it was mine I probably wouldn't touch it good job

This is neat. No need to crop.

I think it's cool.

I might have given just a tiny bit of extra frame to the right to swim into....but what do I know?

NICE JOB. I certainly wouldn't crop it if it was mine, I'd just sit back and enjoy.

I would try cropping it square (equal height and width), making sure to get all of the reflection in first. If the compostion then looked out of balance (top heavy) then I might revert to something else. It's worth a look I think.

This is what I've come up with so far........ Any comments?

Think I agree with GMAIZE now that I've seen it.
Much better balance to the image.

Tommy,

Looks awesome....and the border really makes it look finished. You have a real winner here.

MadDog,

Thanks for the compliment!

I like Tommy's but I would crop it so there duck sits higher in the frame, which would draw the eye to the reflection - which is awesome. Let's face it, there are a million shots of ducks and they aren't exactly exotic, elusive or dangerous. So you've got to make the photo stand out - and this one does, but not because it's a duck and it's really close, but because the reflection is so interesting and unusual.

Good shot!

Thanks for the help and comments guys....
