Another muddy foot !

[John Robinson]

Heron at our new wader scrape hide. Just got home after 11 hours in the hide!
Worth it though ! This is one from a couple of days back.
Nice to see a bit of habotat in.Problems with white feathers from a swan roost !! Took some cloning out ! Tried to darken white ripples too. I did say tried !!

I like the muddy foot, pre-strike pose and composition. I would drop the saturation of the BG a bit. Nice image John.

Thanks for pointing it out Jim Now you mention it ---it looks b***dy terrible !!!!Mind you the reeds were green and the waters green!
Heres a try.

I'm OK with the saturation in the first post but an average between the two might make it about right for my eyes. I share your grief regarding swan feathers!
