I captured this heron at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida in October.

Nikon D7000, Nikon 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 VRII AF shot at 300mm, 1/500, f/8, ISO 800, processed in Lightroom 5 and Photoshop Elements

Solid image.
Light a bit harsh but not a deal breaker.
I might sharpen the head a bit more. It looks like critical focus was on the shoulder.
You have a nice BG as well.

Hi Joseph, I love this species and have almost nothing on it even after visiting spots that have them at...lucky you! Gail's got it covered, but I would add that boosting the saturation on the bird itself just a tad would be good too.

Hi Daniel, thank you for viewing and offering suggestions, always welcome as I am here to improve. If you ever get to central Florida (Tampa Bay Area) again give me a shout, I think I can line you up with a few Little Blue Heron. I have revisited the image and reposted here.
