Thanks Benjamin. The crops are tight for several reasons:


1. To eliminate other oblects/bird parts from the image
2. In the cases of vertical tightness, I should have held the camera for portrait.

Here's the original of the wood stork with no PP except changing ppi from 240 to 72

Nice series! I like #2 the best--really nice detail and the bird's expression looks quite mischievous!
