Great shot, CJ. My vote goes to the original. I don't see the advantage to this image by using the 10x4 crop (unless you have to), tho it is still nice this way. The original is mo-betta, seems to me. Cheers, -mikey

OK. I've looked and looked and have decided this is great the way it is now. Maybe what Debi is seeing is that she would like the eye centered, but because it is such a narrow crop I'm not sure that would work. Penny Street

great one Carole - may be chop of a bit on the right for balance - just my thought - Debi

Thanks everyone for the comments! Just cropping off the top made the ratio look odd to me so here's the cropped version I came up with. What do you think? The original is in pending:http://www.pbase.com/ctfchallenge/image/92183170 CJ

I really like this shot for its simplicity and sense of soft plumage and sharp eye. It also looks wonderful with the green cropped off. Julie

Looks like the weather finally cooperated for you CJ! Three very nice posts, I think this one is my favorite too- the bird has a sense of calm about it. Great work! ~Brent

Wonderful, CJ! That eye is soo sharp! Might I suggest that it would have even more impact if you cropped the green off the top so that you had an all white image with that marvelous red rimmed eye? ~Sharon

Great shot, CJ, my fave of your three. Cheers, -mikey
