American Wigeon

I very seldom get a photo that I think is good enough to post on here, but I
think this one is ok.

That is a gorgeous shot, Tom; I might crop it a bit differently, as the width looks a bit much for the height, but a great shot nevertheless.

How would you crop it?

Tom

Beautiful shot, I would use a 3:2 or 4:3 or 5:4 aspect crop.

Sorry, have no idea what you are telling me. Can someone explain.

Thanks
Tom

Great shot, beautiful bird. Basically he's saying to crop it in a more square shape. Personally, I would prefer a closer crop, keeping the reflection and perhaps a bit of the branches in the background.

Fantastic shot and bird!! they really are

Thanks for all the nice comments. Is this a better crop?

Tom

I crop 16x9 most of the time!! if you display your work on a led or flat screen it works the best.

good capture Tom. I don't crop to a set ratio, so my suggestion would be take some off the left, and some off the bottom to start with, and see how that goes, moves the bird a little to off center.

I was thinking something like this:

I want to thank all that commented on this photo as it gives me the courage
to post some more.

Thanks
