Thanks Kenneth. This kind of input is highly appreciated. I shot from a low standpoint to keep the bird away from the horizon. When cropping I played it by the rule of thirds. I also had in mind that I wanted the bird to look towards centre of frame. Because of the weather I wanted to "close" the image. Your suggestion would probably close even more. I'll play some more with it.
