gus, i like your black-crowned night heron!!! i have been on an eye kick lately so i worked on it a bit. just used USM. also added some NR and lightened the right side of the bird a bit. hope you like it. i added some USM to the bird too. may have overdone it.
I like the work on the eye Harold !!!! Little details make all the difference
Good bird and pose Gus Got him to the proper side of the frame looking into the empty space. Just lots of bg clutter. Good record image but need to find them in the open !!! Right now they are nesting at Ding Darling. All the way at the end of the drive. The area has a rope so you can't miss it. Lots of opportunities for images !!!!
