Hey Anthony

Glad you made it over here with this great shot!

We're not a critique board so much, just a bunch of folks who appreciate wildlife.

Sometimes we can get a little carried away altering our pictures to "fit the bill." It sounds as if you might not be happy with this image the way you edited it from your critique post. Remember that you're the one who counts here, not the critiquers! If you think a better crop or density would be more appropriate, then that's what you should go with.

I like this crop better but I agree that it may have been lightened a little too much.

Welcome to the boards! Make sure you post some more wildlife and nature shots in here!

Rick
