Cattle tyrant (Machetornis rixosa) on male capybara (Hydrochoeris hydrochaeris), the Pantanal, Brazil

  •  Comment Choice of crop is always tricky. I think if there are two good options (and there is merit in Basile's suggestion), then better to leave it as the larger crop as that gives those who use the image in publications etc. to choose their own crop. I have recently, for instance, provided wider crops to a couple of publishers. Here I have chosen rule of thirds, centred the capybara eye and given good space on the right. Of course will crop if majority prefer! Charles (talk) 10:40, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • FWIW, I do not think the suggested crop is much of an improvement, as it kills all the en:Lead room. On the contrary, I would crop on the left (and top, keeping the aspect ratio) to place either the bird's eye or the capybara's ear on the left vertical rule-of-thirds grid line – to increase the lead room and support the percieved forward movement. --El Grafo (talk) 08:04, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
