Grey Heron

Nothing but just a portrait. Made just after rain.

Lovely sharp detail, and I like the softer light from the rainy conditions. A little tight on the RHS, and I feel a little CCW rotation is needed.

[Raymond Lee]

Sharp capture...I love the details on the wings! Stuart is right, a little CCW rotation is needed if you look at just the feet. The tall figure of the Heron can mislead one in the angle.

[Brendan Dozier]

Very nice capture, Saptagirish! Excellent exposure and details, agree with Stuart on a little more room on left and bit of rotation. Nice work!

[Gary Esman]

Very nice, sharp and a beautiful background. Love those feet.

[Mike Milicia]

Very nice portrait! Excellent detail and like the setting and BG!

[Ron Sprunger]

With that light it has a wonderful sculpted look. Terrific detail and exposure is spot on. Agree about rotation, and feel a little looser crop all around would be nice if you have it.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Good IQ on the heron itself. I see something was modified behind the subject...I can see the post-processing along that edge, especially the lower right corner. I also agree with some CCW rotation.
