    Default Night Heron Portrait

    Couldnt go out to shoot birds in a long time. Making do with what I have around me here.

    This is the closest I have gotten to this bird so far.

    7D, 100-400 @ 400, 5.6, 1/160 Manual mode. Cropped for composition. Some selective sharpening.

    A sweet pose and a nice depiction of enviroment here. Shows the crown very well. the whites look a bit too bright on my screen and I would try to reduce the warm cast just a tad without loosing the mood/ambiance.

    excellent work TFS

    Nice portrait. I agree with Arash regarding the 'color cast'. Also, the foreground stems are a bit distracting.

    Thanks Arash , SAtish, I will work on the cast.

    Thanks Miguel, I know they are a little distracting but I wanted to keep it that way as I thought they added some detail to the habitat.

    I like this alot. Awesome details. The habitat looks great, I love hoe you have framed the subject wiithin the vegetation. I could see a version with about 40% of the space above cropped away, and I'd be tempted to tame the bit of brighter spot on the cheek directly below the eye. Nicely executed image.
