Beautiful image of the Heron, maybe consider cropping into a portrait format to lose the distracting dandelions on the right.

Stephen...the image is already cropped and I deliberately offset the heron from centre so that i could 'balance' the image using those dandelions!

I suppose one of the most appealing aspects of photography is that there are so many different ways of looking at an image...and none of them are 'right' or 'wrong'

My first reaction was that the image should be cropped to a more "traditional" photo - but looking at it in more depth I think the offset actually makes the picture even better!

As you say - no rights or wrongs - offering compositions that may not be expected challenges the viewer to look deeper and consider it for our own photography
