Another shot from my model GRBH. This too was taken from the top of a bridge when the bird was feeding below. This shot was taken 2 days ago at a local pond.

a unique and very cool composition, John! I'd consider somewhat darkening the white edges of a couple of those rocks. I'll second Carol's comment too--things here only work if people take time to comment as well as post photos.

interesting perspective. Not sure whether to crop the right side or not.....

A unique perspective, and IMHO it works. I agree those white edges need to be darkened as they do distract. I would also suggest cropping off some of the right side. Thanks for sharing.
