    Still working on images from the past. Dot and I went to Gatorland in early June of 2017, Tri-colored Herons and chicks were abundant, in the bushes and on the boardwalk railing. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Hi Joe, what a beauty! Love the top feathers. I might be tempted to tame the brightest yellows. TFS

    I love it too! Niely framed by the vegetation, and for that reason I would have loved to have seen a version with zoom pulled-back for more. Lots of personality in that young one! My Canon often renders vegetation "yellower" than it was in the field and I then need to add some blues to them. Is that the case here?

    Looking real good Joe...What a great pose and the surrounding vegetation frames the bird nicely...I like the detail you got all over the bird. If anything I would try toning down the greens a wee bit.

    Thanks everyone for viewing and commenting, much appreciated. Here is an edt with the green/yellow toned down a bit as suggested.
