    Re: Teal

    It is really a bit small in the frame to see any detail - I guess its not cropped a lot as the bird is bang in the middle of the frame, so maybe a closer crop would enable some more detail to be seen

      I'll see what I can do Stan, but you're right little cropping, a bit of saturation and sharpening in photoshop that's all.

          that is better but you still left him dead centre

          Oddly enough there is an article in one of the current magazines about what makes a good composition and one item backs up what I always advocate - "any subject with a face or a front always requires more space on the side it is looking or travelling towards.Unless the face is straight on to the camera and hence symmetrical, allow more active space (the room the subject is looking or moving into) than passive space (the area it has left behind) "

            I agree with Stan on this ,in fact if you crop off the right hand third in line with the vertical twig it would make it imho

                  Thanks Ant, got there eventually, I was always told to creep not crop, but I couldn't get in closer as I'd have sunk into the boggy ground.

                    The last crop is much better

                      It would be great if we could fill the frame all the time but sometimes cropping (or enlarging in days of film) is necessary. Though we shouldn't think its a bad thing.

                        Sometimes the background sort of overpowers the subject for me if it's cropped too much, so I have tended to crop less, will try both before posting next time.

                          You could possibly clean that up with selective background n/r but take it as a lesson and move on

                            The final crop is the one. Yes it would be great to have the longest lenses or creep as close as possible but Cropping in LR is non destructive so crop away to your hearts content until you 'find the composition'.
