Hi Bruna, does this look better ? That black line all along the bottom of the branch was very distracting to me; I tried fixing it using brush masks, but no matter what I did I could not make it look natural, so I gave up and went for the tight crop instead.

This looks much better with a little more space to contain the subject in the frame. The branch is an anchor point for the bird to rest on. That is why it is important to include that as well. Without the branch, the subject seems to fall out of the frame, and the composition feels unbalanced to the viewer.

Well done, Hennie. Your image is sharp, and you handled the exposure perfectly. You have captured the mood and drama for impact. You mentioned that you had cropped the picture; consider leaving a little more space at the bottom of your frame, as it feels slightly tight and crop somewhat more to the right for a better balance. Well done Hennie!!
