Another is the series from Darling NWR - GBH dancing??
This GBH inexplicably began prancing about in the second pond at Ding Darling a week ago last Thursday. He was looking at me the whole time too. I can't begin to contemplate what was going through his heron brain.
Canon 1D Mark IV, ISO 800; 500 mm f/4L IS MK I; 1/3200 sec. @ f/8.0. PP in LR 4.3. Nearly full frame, but cropped a little left and bottom for composition. Because of the side-lighting, I lightened the shadows on the right side of the neck, and under the wings, and reduced highlights on the left side of the bird. Some clarity, sharpening, and BG NR. C/C always appreciated.

Repost with adjustments -Another in the series from Darling NWR - GBH Dancing???
Here is another try. I cropped tighter and tried to dodge the area on the shadowed side of the face. I also took another shot at muting the highlights on the sun side of the bird. Thanks everyone for your helpful comments.
