I like the composition, breaking wave and the raised foot. TFS.

Hi John,
I am not sure about this one. The wave and the raised foot are nice but
the heron seems very dark and the colors seem off to me. ?cloudy day
I would try increasing the exposure on the bird and perhaps warm up the image a bit,

Hi Joh, Nice bird, nice wave, but yes, the bird is too dark and thus the colors a bit muddy. It likely all started with the original image capture. You need to be adding at least 2 full stops for images like this made in cloudy conditions.
