Oh, what a beautiful shot, wow.  Even on my phone the details of the 
feathers are apparent.  What a graceful pose.  Do you know what it's doing?  

Making cropping suggestions was definitely not the first thing that occurred 
to me.  Now that you ask, I suppose a little off the top wouldn't hurt, but 
had you not asked, I'm not at all sure cropping would have entered my mind.

I welcome suggestions for cropping this photo: ordinarily I don't crop 
skinnier than 2:3 proportions but I will if the photo news it.  What say 
you?  Crop more from the top?

Obviously should have been "if the photo needs it".  Gotta figure out how to 
turn the spell checker off.
