Expressive calling pose. Pretty BG. Nice clear eye and exposure on the heron. Wish the single leaf below his throat wasn't present.

The eye looks a bit oversharpened, but the pose, color, BG and comp are very nice.
Congratulaitons!

Beautiful. Agree that the eye and surrounds look a bit over sharpened.

Pull back the sharpening a little bro and this will stand well! I don't mind the HA, it's sufficient for my taste! Love the pose. :)

The overcast conditions brought out the detail and colour well. Ditto the sharpening.
