I find the blurry background attractive, since it duplicates the coloring of the bird. Doesn't lessen the EV, IMO. --Janke | Talk 15:46, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – I think I have to leave the branch in to frame the hidden tail. Charlesjsharp (talk)
I experimented offline with a bottom crop around the fork in the branches (also a bit of a trim on the left and just a shave on the right), and thought it looked good. – A suggestion for zooming in a little. Sca (talk) 14:38, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Sca, but I still support. Drmies (talk) 14:47, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The suggestion has merit, but then the bird's eye isn't in the centre, and you lose some nice blue sky on the left, so it's a trade off... – Charlesjsharp (talk) 07:32, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
