I took this shot of this little songbird a couple of days back at Objibway Nature Preserve. There were some small branches in top right of picture that seem to detract from composition...instead of cloning them out I used a tight crop...

It worked fine Gerry. A little feller like him doesn't need much room. Great capture. Nice to see you posting again. I like the colors and clarity very much.

The crop works very well and so does your presentation. Very clear shot with great colours of this cute little bird. Wonderful DT and shot!

Beautiful illustration of my favorite song bird!! Perhaps a very, very fine white frame around the capture...very, very small (in white) to draw the viewer in more?? Sweet look & details G-dude!!

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round?? Picture Purrrfect .
