Description

You wouldn't know it from his stance, but this guy just got beat up on by the alpha-male. He may have lost the battle, however, his spirit is hardly dampened.

There were some ugly office buildings behind him, which I removed and replaced with the sky shot.

He is almost exactly square, so I could have gone vertical or horizontal, but I feel strongly that his pose demands hornizontal space... more than in the truncated version here. (see full version). This pose often follows or preceeds a battle, which always involves a lot of charging about. For more, check out the GANDER BATTLE image sequence.

I made a couple minor adjustments per critiques. I should have followed my instincts about the jpeg level (which was fuzzing the image) and the positioning of the gander.

Looks pretty good, although I'd place the guy more to the left.

Stunning pose with light illuminating the snow, water droplets, and sky really makes this photo quite eye catching. This may have worked if were taken in portrait format, since it could emphasize the birds positioning and minimize some excess space around it.

Fantastic image, but like Slapo I would like more room on the right or less on the left..
and a little sharpening would not go a miss..
