Alternative crop with less environment, your thoughts are appreciated.

Since the heron is really the focus of the shot, I like the vertical version better.  The "environment" doesn't add that much to the overall picture.

I agree with Pete, Mike.  I don't think the extra environment adds anything that's not on the closer crop.  Sweet image and excellent timing.

I too prefer the tight look.  It really focuses attention on the bird and it's reflection (and you know I love reflections...).  An outstanding catch, Mike.

Hi Mike, I like the closer crop better too. Interesting reflection of the Heron and action, great catch! The Heron stands out well against the browns in this photo.

I prefer the square crop, Mike. I do not think the extra space really adds to the image. Nice capture, your timing was perfect. Very nice detail in the heron.
