The eye pops out; what a beautiful eye indeed; my attention is drawn immediately to it. The background is pleasing, but there's a noticeable spot, possibly a Photoshop artifact, by the heron's throat. If it were mine, I'd clone out the doo-doo on the rock and the two black spots.

Good sharpness. I wish we could see the feet. I like Craig's suggestions, and I would also consider darkening or removing the tan horizontal area of water in front of the bird.

Great colours and head turn. I would go with removing the spots and also would have liked to see his feet. Great sharp eye TFS:cheers:

Very nice, Ram. subject is very well placed in the frame. loved that BG. Eye sure is superb....best thing abt the night herons. With tripod mounted gear and a bird that holds the pose, I'd have stopped down a little more.
