The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
Ok, you maybe asking why a 65 by 24 frame? It started when I was watching James Pepsys pod cast. He is a land scape photographer and the look was interesting. So here it is, what do you think?
The Double-crested Cormorant, was photographed at Rocky Neck State Park, on May 3 at 8:31 AM. Thank you for stopping by.

Hi, Peter - I think this works fine here. I never hesitate to frame “differently” if it’s interesting. There are a couple examples in my recent portfolio on NPN.
In this case, you might consider leaving a bit more room at the bottom so as to not cut off the reflection, and a bit less at the top., and moving the bird ore off-center. Nice pose from the bird!
Think “out of the box” whenever possible!
I don’t mind the long skinny format, Peter, but I do agree that for this to work in this case, the cormorant needs to be quite a bit further right in the frame. Still a very nice scene.
Peter: it’s always worth the effort to try something new. You might consider moving the bird off center and moving the crop down a bit so as not to cut off the reflection.
Hi Sandy, Glenys, Dennis, David & Richard
Her is a re-post with the framing lowered and the Cormorant of to the right. When I first posted the shot, I went with the bird in the center with the head turn to the right. I thought this gave the impression of the Cormorant walking up to an intersection and trying to decide where the birds went.
