The other evening I captured this Kingfisher on our nearby river from my kayak. I was curious about a framing question; which of the first two images is preferable, the closer crop or back a little further to show more background?

Mike, Excellent series! Possibly back off ever so slightly on number 1. Number 2 is just right.

#1 for me.

Nice shots! I prefer #1, but agree with Ralph that it might be cropped in just a tiny bit tight.

 

[MikeNav]

Thanks everyone. I’ll back off #1 a bit.

Incredible series! 1 is better, but definitely reduce the crop a good amount. 3 is also great!

Great Sequence, with a unique capture

A wonderful set of photos. Shot from a kayak at 800mm, nicely done.
