Had some fun with this Green Heron when it landed on this algae

Nice the green heron is surrounded by all that green. The framing is nice. Like the hair do.

nice frame Kurt, I like the light, the HA and greenish BG that shows the habitat.

Nice frame.
Good low POV and nice to see the hint of blue water in the BG.
Great look at the foot. Light is starting to get harsh but not a deal breaker!
I would clone out that black spot in LLC.

It is a fine pose... I also would eject that black spot..

[Kurt Bowman]

Thanks Gail and Dan...I didn't even notice it until know...lol

[Daniel Cadieux]

Yep, that spot in LLC needs to go. I like the fluffed pose, and the blue peeking in in upper corner is nice touch IMO.

Kurt, really super canvas you got here.

Love the composition with the foot raise and the greens and blues are astounding.

Aside from the elephant in the room, the most notorious black spot of all time lol, I could only suggest maybe a bit of touch sharpening on the eye.

Really well done my friend!
