Blue Heron at Sunset

I am not a big fan of Herons, they usually look awkward and goofy to me.
I took this last evening though and liked the light and the hunting position.

Dan, it is the weirdness of these guys that actually makes them special to me. They come up with some of the most unique poses. :bg3:. Nice light you have here great to take advantage of it. I would love a better HA. The contrast seems a little high on this. The head seems a little bright. Are you able to tone them down a little?

Gary.
