Instead of cropping tight I left the inclusion of his habitat hoping that it frames the image a bit. On a critical note I do wish the horizon didn't intersect his body where it does and I wish I had been a little higher.

I agree. The background gives this image kind of a soft, misty feel.....which I like.

Cool looking shot, Mike. Not only did you include some enviroment, it looks like there was some fog out in the background.

Excellent shot Mike, I see the horizon really not much you can or better should do about it.

Yes, Tosohatchee Wildlife Mgmt. Area. Cool place. Never many people there, lots of venomous snakes, big gators and birds.

Thanks folks for looking.
