Juvenile Green Heron

[Jim Crosswell]

Here is another Green Heron image from a local pond. I added some canvas to the right and top. I also cloned out a portion of a branch. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Thats a real beauty Jim, love the locked on feet, it always amazes me how they can hang on so well when the go in after prey. Nice job on all accounts.

:S3:

Beautiful image, composition colors and detail excellent
wall hanging for sure; raising the bar IMHO

[Chris Kotze]

Excellent pose detail and colours.

Jim, excellent detail and colours on the heron, and I do like the extreme pose. Love how the claws are wrapped around the perch. Another painted feel to the BG.

[Arthur Morris]

Yes, this is quite well done. Techs are perfect. I love the veggies at the bottom and would wish only for a slightly simpler perch. The bird btw is a moderately worn juvenile.

Jim, really liked this one. the sharpness, BG, colors, pose....what a shot. I especially like the dof coverage of the perch.
