I like it Stu, a little unusual. Lovely colours details and focus. My only suggestion would be to have a look at the whites under the eye. I am not saying they are blown but I think with a little luminosity masking there would be a little more detail to be had.
From an entirely selfish viewpoint the image is just the right size, i.e. I don't have to resize push pull mess about etc. (Sorry had to get that off my chest!) I suspect many people for example with lap tops would prefer 1200 px max?

I do like the typical heron pose, and the colors of the background compliment the bird very nicely. Whites look OK on my screen. I also like the size as posted.

Stu:
Nice color harmony between bird and background. Soft light. Whites on the cheek about 220 average.

Excellent work Stu. Plenty to like here including the size of the image which works very well for me and a nice compromise with the new posting size. Background in this is great and I can see why you have composed to use it. This could also work as a vertical too, I think, but fine as presented. I have tried heron and egret shots like this myself but not pulled one off this well.

What a cool looking frame Stu. The bird looks great with a nice pose and sweet details but the awesome colorful BG really sets this one apart. Love the larger posting size. Well done
