Great Blue Heron Portrait

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Dear all,
I am posting here after a long break. Visited Orlando, FL a few days ago and thanks to Marina & Joseph, I got some nice images. Sharing one here from the lake at Hyatt Grand Cypess hotel. I really got close to this one.

If there is one time to stop down the aperture, it is when getting very close to a bird for portraits. Good call doing so. I'd have pointed the lens a tad more to the right to get the subject a bit back in the frame, and I seem to think the colours could be more vibrant, especially the yellows. Apart from that, looks good to me!
