I do like this Joe nice clean and simple that bg is lovely,Heron looks good from it's beak to it's toes,tiny nit but would like to see this with a bit more on the left as I look at it.
Very nice image, nice perch, great bird and smooth background. The crop seems a bit tight on his head. I would either open up the crop top and left a bit or just move the bird down in the frame a little more.
That is a gorgeous shot, lovely even light and an interesting pose on a stem showing how those feet really look. I think I would agrre with previous comments suggesting a little more space to left and top.
I really enjoyed this image - thanks Joe.
Joe, I think you need to look at your masking & cloning, top LHC, the lighter patch looks a bit odd.
Hi Steve, I see the area that looks odd at the top left. Not sure why, no work was done in that area. Easy fix, I blended it in with the rest of the background. Thanks for looking and bringing that to my attention.
P.S. Looking at the original it had to have happened when I extended the canvas on the top and left. To quick to post an edit I missed it.
