Should I keep the osprey or fair the stem?

Should I keep the osprey or fair the stem?

I always come back to this forum for boat building wisdom. I had 5" of stem left that I was going to fair with the shape of the bow but I couldn't resist putting my favorite shape on it...an osprey head...I've never seen anything like this on a drift boat...it's not as large as the camera angle makes it out to be...any opinions welcome...too goofy or let it ride?

Thanks Brandon, fiberglass and varnish on the outside and 2 coats of ship and shore, then 3 coats of dalys teak oil on the inside.  It's been one hell of a learning experience...

Let it ride, custom and full of character. Beautiful boat btw! What, if I might ask, did you use for a finish on her?
