Juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Captured this image at sunrise back in July of 2015 at Ocean City Rookery, NJ. I would have preferred to see the feet clearly. C&C welcome.

Hi Geoffrey,

Awesome perch and background. I don't particularly mind not being able to see the feet, although I do like the small amount of the foot that is showing here. I also like the drop of water on the beak. I do see a bit of noise in the background and also would be interested in seeing a version thats cropped in a bit more on the bird. Thanks for sharing!

Looks very good to me Geoffrey ,can just see a bit of noise in the darker bits of the bg already mentioned,like this nice simple uncluttered shot.
