Screaming Herons...

[Joseph Przybyla]

I captured this image of a Great Blue Heron at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. I was photographing this bird perched when it took flight, towards me squawking. I tried zooming out but could not keep up to keep the bird in the frame. So this is trying to make lemonade from lemons. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Nice in your face frame. Like how you can see in the heron's mouth. Details look good.
