24 Apr 21 Reply Hi Jim, thanks for your feedback and suggestions. I spent about 30 minutes concentrating on this little watering hole. I captured the types of photos you mentioned in your suggestions. Very pleased with those, but I just loved the expression captured in this image and thought the image held its own engaging narrative.
I'm glad you mentioned the placement of the rocks in the foreground. I played with the crop and image composition for a while. I like the rocks, but I wasn't sure how it would be viewed by others. I took the same view as you in that the rocks "anchor" the image. I thought that not having them would make the image appear a bit flat because of lack of shadows.

97 Apr 21 Reply Hi Stanley, yeah, I agree about the leaves on the right being a bit of a distraction. I played around with the placement of the Bulbul a few times. Unfortunately, the original isn't super sharp, so I didn't want to try to over do it in post-processing. I tried to keep the face just a bit off-center because I generally like the subject not centered, but maybe it would have been better to go that route and cut a bit off the right. But in the end, as you mentioned, it really is just a feel good photograph with a bit of humor. The fact that it made you smile is a win in my book because that was the intention for sharing this image. Apr 2nd
