    Good looking portrait, particularly the tongue hanging out - fun! Dilated pupil and curious look are nice as well. Flat lighting helped you achieve nice even exposure across the bird. I would have closed down at least 2/3 stop to combat noise issues.

    Hi John, beautiful bird. I have a fondness for Great Blue Herons. The tongue sticking out adds interest, makes the image unique. The grey background sets off the bird well. Thank you for sharing.

    Love this portrait, my friend... The tongue adds interest. The bird looks clean at 6400 with plenty of detail. Maybe another round of NR on the BG (which I love, BTW) is all that is needed. TFS
