Wow!!! Looks just like our Green Back Heron in South Africa

This is a very handsome-looking bird, and you got it in a nice low angle and walking pose. Light quality and light angle are both not ideal though.

Dumay, it does look like it doesn't it! Don't forget to also tell Colin what you like or what you would like to see improved in his image:).

Good stuff by Dan: when you are working in harsh light it is imperative that you work right down sun angle with your shadow pointed right at the bird. Doing so will effectively reduce the contrast....
