    I feel the same. The 1st has a compositional element that just clicks with your inner photog! I'd hang that on my wall in the aspect ratio you currently have that in canvas. Love the colors, and bracketing was definitely as smart move. To make the shot perfect IMHO, you could crop a smidgen off the left side, just so much so that you lose that little vertical post on the left edge. That pushes the sun a little more towards the left of the frame and it all falls in to place at that point for mem. The birds in the foreground and the subject in the main frame is absolutely spectacular. You've shot many shots that I wish I would have done so myself. Very good shots i'm seeing from you Pat. Very proud of you

    That's it! Love it. Tell me you can't see that hanging in someone's living room on canvas? What a great image.
