    Very very nice pose, Joe! I like the spread wing pose at high angle of attack here. The belly looks a little on the hot side, maybe a little burn there?

    Thank you for viewing and commenting, Adhika. Very much appreciated....

    After reading your comments I revisited the editing and worked on the image again. The white/lights were too bright. Sometimes too much is done to an image in post processing. Here is a repost of the edit.

    I like the wing position, dangling feet and composition. I like the toned down whites on the Heron but now the water looks too dark. I would only apply the decreased exposure/brightness to the bird. Nice image Joe.
