Night Heron

[Steen Torner]

This Night Heron is photographed in the early morning of 21 June 2017 from a Bence Máté hide in Hungary (The Theater).
There was a lot of birds in the water in front of the hide. However, I saw this one standing in some grass on the brink to the right of me allowing for this "soft" looking image.

Canon EOS 7D MII with the EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM
1/1600 sec at f/5.6 and ISO 500
Manual exposure and only slightly cropped.

Please let me have your comments and critique.

Kind regards
Steen

Absolutely LOVE the feel of this one. It's ethereal and artistic. My only issue is I am not sure the composition is working for me. I think if it's possible, I'd rather see more space on the left and less on the right since he is looking to the left.

It's always nice to see something different. This was well seen by you, and artistically captured. I love the beautiful background. The strong sidelighting isn't helping it, IMO.

Love the Art. Agree that less on the RHS and more on the left

Thanks for your comments - helpful as always.
The image is only slightly cropped, so there is not room for changing the composition.
