I recently shot an image down in Florida that to me seems to have some potential, When I took it I originally imagined the shot somewhat similar to what you will see here, I have only cropped a very small portion around the outside. As I considered different versions (Square with the excess removed from the top, or Landscape with even more image removed from the top and some more from the bottom), I decided I like my original vision, it gave a greater sense of isolation to the bird and the contrasting color (green) at the top added another element. Since deciding on this I have had a couple people suggest there is too much at the top and coming in tighter on the bird and eliminating most of the top would be better, my problem being if I spend too much time on an image I start losing the "freshness" needed to assess it properly, I keep thinking I need to do more to it for some reason and more often than not I don't. So I throw it out to the masses here, any input as to the current crop or suggestions to improve it are welcome.

(I don't understand but creating a link or posting the image as a link does not work, but if I copy and paste it into my browser it will work fine, I guess I'll have to sort it out later but in the mean time you can just copy the link above into a new window to view it, sorry I will try figure out the problem this weekend)
