I did consider that, but rejected it due to the amount of blue that would have filled the frame (I like 8X10 crops). Instead, I made sure all the secondary flight feathers were included along with the breast feathers, primaries, and head feathers. This, I feel, gives the impression of size, like it's too big to fit in the frame.
Greeting Todd, Very beautiful Image, Lovely detail and lighting. Perfect in the pattern. My only humble suggestion would be to include the tips of those bottom row of Feathers best regards, Sandra
