Thank you everybody for your input. I really appreciate it all. Even the attempted edit. I have decided to leave it as it is, and I think I will make a print of it to hang on my wall. Thanks again

This young one was only about 8 feet off of the ground, and truth be told, I was a little skeered. LOL I am assuming he is fresh from the nest and is trying to decide what to do next because this is the middle of the city.

My Mantra-get closer and crop tighter. Beautiful bird but gets lost in the tree and the sky on the right is distracting. Remember your feet are your most valuable tool. Most photographers forget to use them. I blame this on the increased use of the zoom lens.

I think the picture is right on. An animal should look like it has a place to go, cropping too close would lose that, and with the wonderful fall colors - it's great. Congratulations! :D

Ditto...If you crop it takes away from the picture. It looks great. Then again I am not a fan of centered pictures. Just my opinion. Keep shooting...Great Job...

Has to be cropped much tighter because there is to much trees, etc., taking away from the bird. It becomes much too distracting.

My opinion. I am a pro-photographer and have produced and sold many of my photos and competed in many, many photo competitions and I am sure that 's what a photo judge would comment. Just try covering up the photo using paper and see how it changes its looks by eliminating things that would distract the eye and take it away from the beautiful bird you photographed.
