Osprey w/fish Cropped

I'm on the fence about this photo. I had to crop it due to a large branch just above the Osprey. Thoughts about composition or any other issues. Thanks.

Maybe post a shot uncropped with the branch?

I knew I should've done that first.

I actually don't mind the branch - rather not have it obviously, but I'd prefer that over cropping out the wing. maybe try cropping the branch out at the bottom, and come in from the right side, leaving the subject right of center? Not perfect, but might help salvage the shot - which has some nice focus work tracking through those branches!

Neat shot. You could try to take the branches out.

Not bad, although I do prefer to see more of the eye. I'll keep it. Maybe I'll use this one to learn how to remove objects as Dave suggested.

Yeah, its a shame about that branch being there, quite distracting unfortunately.
