Sacred Ibis on the fly

Waaay too tight... sometimes things on the Chobe happens too close to the boat... I did what I could with the Z800 on the Z9:

Thank you Chris! I couldn't get myself to send it to the bin... some ppl suggested to add some "canvas" to the right and the top but a) don't know how & b) I prefer to show the originals, even including my own mistakes...

Given that (nice) background you could do that trick of stretching the borders of the photo if the tightness bugs you. Nice shot, in any event. Beautiful.

Thanks Steven, would I sound stupid if I say that I simply do not know how and, I don't work with any other editing programs than NX-Studio and CNX-2 (and neither, afaik, can do such thing)?
I tried a couple of times with LR and got frustrated each time... PS... you don't want to know... Let's agree that I'm a lazy donkey and have limited skills to deal with LR/PS/etc.

Honestly, it is nice to see this tight crop. I get tired of seeing the same compositions over and over. Great job keeping the bird in the frame!

I've done it a couple of times following Steve's video and at that I screw up every time, so it was damn cheeky of me to even suggest it to someone else LOL

At least you have the program(s) installed, I don't even get that far!
Yesterday I gave it a try to "DarkTable" (to avoid having to register and all the lot to get a trial of LR) and guess what...??
