    Default Black-crowned Night Heron

    This was taken last week at a local lagoon. I added canvas in front of the bird and the feet were partially obstructed by OOF bulrushes. This heron was going to land where I was standing and saw me at the last minute. Hope you enjoy the image.

    Nice flight pose on the bird. Like the blue water background. Light looks nice.

    Excellent. Beauty BG too with the water surface undulations showing just enough to add interest.

    Hi Jim, you nailed this on all counts. Nice feather detail, sharp, and nicely separated from the BG.

    Looks very good. No Shadows on the subject which make this image work very well.

    TFS.
