Great Blue Heron with an itch

I captured this image last summer at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida.

Nikon D7000, Nikon 70-300mm F/4.5-5.6, VRII AF shot at 300mm, 1/2500, F/8, ISO 1000, post processed in Lightroom 5

Perfect perch for such an unhappy Heron. Looks very nice to me.

Fun scratching pose here, Joe, and I like seeing the raised crown plumes. I am seeing a yellow cast to this image as evidenced by the yellow in the heron's white feathers. A color balance adjustment layer away from the yellows would be most helpful in eliminating the yellow cast.

Hello Bret and Marina, thank you for viewing and commenting. I made a few changes to eliminate the yellow cast on the white feathers. Here is the re-edited image.
