Beautiful detail, nice subtle tones and a nice bg. Although it would be kind of tight , I wonder if taking a smidge off the bottom would help take away from the oof area lower right side.

Very nice shot, sharp and great BG. I would try to remove the distracting stick that is poking up to the right between the heron's legs.
