Hmm, an interesting composition. How about cropping 4 pixels at the bottom so that it's foot just touches the edge and then drawing two pixel black border only at the bottom part of the frame? Would that work RD, for you?
I tried what you suggested Ganesh, both works for me. While my mind was occupied with other plans, such images do happen by accident I was more interested in the top right corner than the bird ! -RD
