Shot this one a few days ago.
Was standing atop my neighbor's garage looking at some doves, I suppose the intentions were to have a good meal.
My neighbor's wife urged me to take the camera so, I took the picture.
C&C welcome as usual.:beer

    Good catch. The comp would have been more effective with your subject more to frame left.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Will this one meet that criteria?
    Is it more effective now?

    Thanks.

    I'm new to wildlife photography - why better to the left? Is there a rule about this?

    In life, many of us live by rules and regulations, photography is no exception at all.
    You got the rule of thirds, also giving more room in front of the subject, etc.etc........
    Now, sometimes you have no choice other than to break the rules.
    In this case, I was lucky the picture I took had enough room to crop the other way, showing more @ the front, just like the bird will move into that direction, I will say, looks more natural.
    For the record, this is my point of view and might not be coincident with other more experienced photographers.ne_nau.gifdunno
