Green Heron.

[Karl Egressy]

I like this shot for one reason; full frame, no crop was necessary and the only thing I did in PP was sharpening the bird and a very minor noise reduction in the background.
I used back focusing and recomposed it before taking the shot.
Thank for looking.

Hi Karl - Stunning image with a very engaging pose in habitat that creates interest. I like the colors and the DOF you achieved. Nice details on the bird and so on the white feathers as well.
