Very cool Joseph, you are the heron taking off guru between this and the other series. Nice complimentary colors with the blue green and red eye. Exposure and details look good. Take off pose is excellent. TFS
Great take-off pose with the feet just releasing the perch. Nice head angle too. The heron looks exceptionally blue, but you know them better than I do.
I love the pose and the scenery. Wing position is very nice. The head looks a bit softer than the wings to me. I agree that the blue is too strong on this and needs to be toned down.
