      Thanks for the chance to critique your work. feel free to critique my critique, as i still have much to learn myself.

      I would think the vastness you want could be kept if you cropped the image into a landscape panarama. A polar filter effect or a gradient applied to the sky would help you keep the beautiful gradient in the sky without needing quite so much of it.

        Sorry everyone, I forgot to mention, (though it is probably obvious) I was using a slow shutterspeed to try to catch some of the motion of them fluttering around; this was actually two butterflies and one took off for me. If I remember right, A was 1/8, shutterspeed 1/30, I think?

          I may be showing my own ignorance here, but I find the post appeals to me as much as the bird. Maybe even though the bird would be the first choice of subject, the photo could be cropped to emphasize the post with the feet of the bird still showing? I like the lines in the post and the wire; relatively rectangular with the one diagonal wire creating a “line contrast?”
