Thanks, Paul. You're right, I did consider a tighter crop, mainly to get rid of those fuzzy limbs close in on the left, but this is already a very heavy crop and small file. Ken suggested the same thing, so I'm providing the link to a tighter crop. It's a vertical to include that 'wing' hanging down from breakfast, the lower tip of which I cut off slightly when shot. I think it holds up fairly well.
