Portrait of concentration

[Hazel Grant]

Railing removed. Crop to head, about 1/2 of photo crop. Topaz adjust and simpllify

[Judy Howle]

I like it! Nice processing Hazel.

Love the water color look to this! And how perfect for a bird always near the water. Also like the dramatic lighting on the heron, like a sunset/sunrise. Well done.

[Dennis Bishop]

This is very nicely composed. Not only do I like it visually with the colors and lighting and with the look you achieved, but I can't help looking at it longer hoping to see what's caught the heron's attention.

[Hazel Grant]

Dennis! nice to have you back! Actually, though he/she is not looking at me directly, it is me that has its attention....that's really a look of panic as I step slowly closer. But...in the photo, I prefer to call it concentration. thanks for your comments, all.

I like the simplicity and graphic quality of this image. The colors are luscious. The head has a somewhat lighthearted look to it which I enjoy.

Hi, Hazel, I like the look you've created - it reminds me of using the Distort - Glass in PS. I seem to see a purple halo around the beak and lower jaw but maybe my eyes are jet-lagged (as is the rest of me)

[Hazel Grant]

Thanks. Hadn't noticed that halo but you're right. will work on that
