I love the way this picture turned out, but, because I was shooting handheld with a large lens and the bird didn’t sit still for long, I cut off the tail, which I’ve heard is an absolute no-go with bird photography.

I am still working on developing my artistic eye, so I have to ask: Do you think the image still works overall? Or is it too unbalanced?

I asked ChatGPT to recreate a tail (image 2), and I could probably do the same in photoshop, but I don’t know how I feel about that level of over-editing. Advice on how to (and if I should) recreate the same thing in photoshop is much appreciated.

Any suggestions on a better crop to make the original (image 1) artistically pleasing?

I love the way this picture turned out, with the bright light in the upper left, bokeh, and exposure and focus on the bird. But, because I was shooting handheld with a large lens and the bird didn’t sit still for long, I cut off the tail.
