Repost: Thanks to Bonnie for the suggestion. I was too concentrated on getting as much of the body as a rectangle allowed.

Image Description
I was just playing around with a crop to get a texture patch and decided to include the eye and a bit of the beak. When I looked at it, it struck me that in a way it was a portrait.
Technical Details
Sony A1, FE 200-600 @600 mm. handheld from car window, f/6.3, 1/500, iso 1000. An old one from early 2023. I was just looking at some of this series (I spent a long time with this bird) and started playing around with one. This was the result.
Specific Feedback
I’m just looking for whether this works at all. Are you intrigued, dismissive, whatever.
