Original - Southern Red Bishop (Euplectes orix), Male
Edit 1 - Crop
Crop 2. With lead room in the opposite direction, we emphasise the bird's turning to engage with the viewer.
Reason
I was reminded that I had this floating about when I saw the nomination of a related species below.

Possibly, after all, many photographs are better with the image centered even with a violation of the rule of thirds. --Iankap99 (talk) 05:50, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
This doesn't follow the rule of thirds, nor should one blindly follow it all the time. The reason for a little space is more to do with Lead room. I've provided a crop, but I really wouldn't go any for the previous reason. Noodle snacks (talk) 06:27, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
What can be forgotten, your level of idiocy or of petulance? Thoraeton (talk) 20:28, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Support crop 2 first, original second, and oppose crop 1: Nice. Shame the bird doesn't appear smaller, but apart from the scale, I suppose he's fluffing up his feathers for a mating display. I think it's worth mentioning on the image description page that this is breeding plumage. Almost hard to believe that they're otherwise a non-descript brown like the female; this shows the difference very well. Maedin\talk 06:45, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
