I'd have cropped it as a square, but that's me. Great shot nonetheless! Those eyes...

nice shot but i have to say that there are too much highlights and the background isn't that beauty!
Where were you? Couldn't you close up on the eyes?

I agree, it was in a fenced off enclosure, so picking the background was not an option, had to blow out the background to get a good exposure.nice shot but i have to say that there are too much highlights and the background isn't that beauty!

Here's a square crop of the original.

Really nice shot. The focus on the eyes is amazing ( you could also call it a self portrait as I can see your reflection!)
I personally prefer the square crop.

Amazing eyes! I think I prefer the original crop too.

very nice and reading down I agreed that it would suit a square crop...
then saw the square crop and changed my mind, I prefer the original. very sharp and lovely colours though.
