I too like the original Ducwic, even that the cropped one is very good.

The original is by far the better of the two... It shows what is much more to the story of wildlife...

If any cropping is done , then maybe chop of about 1/3 or so of the bottom water area...

When shooting wildlife one should include their habitat as judges and environmentalists will mark you down if you don't.

Having said that - you were photographing the birds so why did you not fill the frame with them and not the uninteresting tree and yards of water?.....There should have been a better composition possible.

Your crop is a tad tight. The geese on the right need a little more space to 'look into'. Perhaps including the far right cropped out one would have balanced the picture by having the two outsiders looking in.

I think you could darken the image slightly and get more definition into the snow.

Its not up to me to like.....so I hope my criticism helps you get an image that you like (better)

Have fun and keep shooting

G Brown, interesting dissection of the photos. Thank you, but I'm sticking with the crop. This is what I would have captured
if I had longer glass. But I had a 18-135mm lens and shot the original photo at 135mm. The eye of the beholder is still king, or should I say queen!!

I would have gone 1/3 water, 1/3 ducks and snow and 1/3 trees. Otherwise, the original would do.

agree; because with that, you do get their environment, which is both land and water.
