### Description

I’ve been going through Costa Rica images and came across this one that I hadn’t paid much attention to, largely because it’s a very substantial crop. However, I think it held up reasonably well, so I thought I’d post it.

### Specific Feedback

Is the image quality sufficient for web?

### Technical Details

Sony A1 FE 200-600 + 1.4 TC @ 596 mm (not sure why I hadn’t zoomed in all the way), f/9, 1/2000, iso 1600. Processed in LR & PS CC. Cropped to 3013x2263. Taken February 22nd.

Nice head on look Dennis. I don’t know how you get them to come after you like that. Fish? It does look just a touch hazy to me for some reason.

Hi Dennis, I like this pose and the head on look is great. I think the image quality works for web presentation even though at full size I can see some degradation on the head I believe. Still a fine image.
