in b&w it looks really nice... I am nt sure about a crop... I would even tighten it to fit vertically the bird but b&w does its job here

wow I love it. I think it's hard to get blurred bird shots to work well. Turning it to black and white makes it all about the form, so it works even better. Nice touch Not sure about the new crop somewhere inbetween the two for me, I think.

Thanks Jeff and Mohain!

The crop is probably still not perfect, but I agree the new version is better

This is great. I liked it with the first version...LOVE it with the second crop. Almost has an abstract feel to it, while still knowing what you are looking at.
