I was lucky enough to have one =of these guys land right in front of me. I shoot with the 300 as my long lens and just happened to be waiting for wood ducks in a spot i hoped something would someday land...
Detail in eye is pleasing; the background is also nice and refreshing. Some more space to the left might have been effective as to draw attention as to what is occupying the heron's interests.
I pretty much like it. As for Axel's comments, folks do not believe me when I tell them that I simply do not have a good eye for fine detail, however... Very sharp and a good head-angle are plusses.
later and love, artie
