Looks as though you had perfect muted light here and your exposure looks spot on. Nice to see the underwings so well lit. I just wish the bird were not slightly angled away.

Joe the underside of this bird looks about perfect to me, when I'm next out and about I will try for a few flight shots.

Beautiful bird...the Tricolored Heron is my favorite of the herons. A fully raised wing and body angling our way would have made for a stronger image, but I love the trailing legs and the compact "S" shape of the neck. Sharp too.
