Kiskadee repost

This is easier than adding a repost to an old image.  This is the last image I posted but I stole a bit of extra perch from another image in the series and then added yet another slice to the bottom using content aware fill and some cloning to get rid of the more obvious anomalies.  I then recropped the image to a vertical 4x5 aspect ratio.  Otherwise same specs as the last image.

I look forward to hearing if you think it's an improvement.

Thanks,

The larger image shows more detail in the blacks.  I think the vertical crop works well here.  The open beak is a plus. Nice pose.  Sounds as if you worked rather hard to get the previous image...

Dennis: This image greatly improves upon your previous image. The composition has better balance to it, and you were able to get more details around the eyes. I might add a tad more space to the left, but excellent image nonetheless.

Yes, I like this much better.  I like the vertical crop and allowing room for the virtual tail.
