    Default Little Blue Heron

    We went back to Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge for a last look before we head home tomorrow.


    It was cloudy and the birds were not moving much but just as we were about to leave the refuge Lorna spotted a Little Blue Heron in the mangroves. She pulled over and I got a few pictures.

    All comments are welcome. Thanks!

    Nice pose and details. Cleaning up the water a little bit would enhance the image IMO.

    I love the color of the heron against the color of the water, in this light quality...turned out beautifully. I like all the stuff on top of the water, it's all spaced rather nicely and none of it is too bright....gives a nice visual effect imo.

    Your bird looks great with spot on color and lovely details. I feel the spots on the water are detracting from an otherwise lovely image. I might also put your bird a little more off center.
