I Want To Eat Now...

[Joseph Przybyla]

This is one goes way back to 2013. I captured the image of a Great Blue Heron and chick at Viera Wetlands, Brevard County, Viera, Florida. I revisited the image today starting over again, using new tools in Lightroom and better skills I have acquired. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Cool image Joseph, love the expression on the little guy's face as well as the overall composition. If anything, I may consider reducing the sharpening on the foliage and baby bird. TFS

Very nice image indeed, I am wondering if there is just a tad too much brightness and not enough mid tone contrast. i think it needs a little "pop".
