Sweet on all counts. At first glance, I thought that you had moved to Florida... Love the sharpness and the 1 degree towards you head angle.

Nice portrait shot with fine feather details, Daniel.

Nice composition, light with great sharpness & details. TFS

Well done on this shot. Great Blue Herons are very camera-shy in my experience, and shooting one with this framing must have taken a good deal of patience and planning.

Thanks guys.
Alan, these guys are normally camera-shy and very skittish up here too so when a cooperative individual shows up then we do not let the opportunity go to waste!

Excellent Capture. Wonderful sharpness, nice to get when there normally uncooperative.

Daniel:
Yes, they are handsome birds, and this image shows that well.
Just the right degree of sharpening for my taste, excellent exposure as well.
I never seem to find such tame GBHs up north, although the juvis are a bit better than the adults
Cheers

Nice portrait and I love the BG. Common bird yes, but handsome and agree it's hard to pass up the cooperative ones.

Wow Daniel, money shot! Brilliant colours and the crop makes a perfect portrait. Beautiful green BG to bring out the yellow on the eyes and bill. Sharp as it can be. A beauty!
I miss my squirrels though, are they out and about these days?
Warmest regards and wishing you a great week ahead,
