    I captured this image about a week ago at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. I saw it raising the feathers on the top of the head and timed the shutter release to capture that.

    Hi Joe, nice pose with a clear view of those big feet and lovely perch. The light seems a tad harsh and the bg seems a bit smudgy for some reason. Cool bird and hairdo.

    This is such a great subject with a nice perch and BG but the light is too harsh for me.

    I like the alert pose, perch...but as others have stated, the light was not your friend on this occasion. I'd also crop up from below to just above the whitish spots.

    Thanks all for viewing, commenting and offering suggestions to improve my image. I took the image back to the drawing board and worked on the light, crop and composition. Here is the edit.
