    I didn't know if you had more room on the right or not. Adding canvas in photoshop is tricky. If you added canvas on the right I would only crop close to the snow puff on the left. I would not want to lose any of that feature.

    Anyway it's a great pic. I wish I had access to Bald Eagles more easily. The Chikat Eagle Reserve is on my bucket list.

    Joel....I'm unable to open attachment 2383.
    I gave a thought to expanding the canvas to the right, but decided not to...I thought the subject matter was worth breaking the rule of 3rds.

    Bill W,
    That has to be one of the finest ABE photos I've seen. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, in your case I think it may be worth two thousand words.

    Now a few dumb questions from a beginner, what lens were you using and what the heck is the eagle carrying?

    Thank you for the compliment Scott.

    Equipment; 5DMK3, 500mm f4 ver1 with a 1.4x attached. Food; a piece of uncooked roaster chicken.

    There is a gentleman (avid birder) that picks up meats that can't be sold or used any longer from a local super market and puts the meats out in his field......he has over 200 acres, so his neighbors don't mind.

    Sorry...I will try again...and I agree the image is very strong and the rule of thirds is not mandatory....I thought it might be even stronger with a little "space" for the bird to fly into (this is quickie attempt and not perfect but gives the idea)

    I agree Joel....the extension of the right hand border does help the pic.

    thanks
