Trevor, i take my hat off to you. Anyone who can catch a wild bird in any shot has my admiration. It would have been nice to have had more frame on the right would be my only comment however i fully recognise that you cant fram a shot like this one and that may have not been possible. You could actually resize the canvas by a few pixels and then copy the edges and clone out any of the bird that gets copied to match the background. Then crop the same amount off the left to retain the size. Good shot.
