I thought about cropping out part of the right bird to emphasize the heads and acorns. Is that a bad idea? Posted: 04/13/2026 00:58:16

Debbie, this is a really unique image that clearly tells the story of this bird's life. If anything, it feels a bit cramped in the frame, I definitely would not crop it further.

Great detail and color. Interesting that the birds are stuffing all the acorns into the tree trunk. I agree that the crop feels a bit tight. Posted: 04/19/2026 14:30:04
