You proved my point again, Alana. That point being that close cropping to see the bird closeup is not always what's best for an image. Shots like this are wonderful because the entire scene creates a reaction and an emotion that would be lost with a crop. Your beautiful image has been featured by Wild Birds Of The World, a nature photography group. L/F
