Mark,
out of few things, images needs more space in the bottom. Even though subject is not in film plane, head position is ok. Wish there was an eye contact with the subject to make it more interesting,
Nice job on the exposure, Mark. I like the background and composition. I agree with having more space at the bottom to see where the feet would be in the surf and a slight turn in head towards you for more eye contact.
cool, thats actually a juv. Great Blue Heron--White Morph, look closely at the beak and head. The legs havent turned yellow yet, but they will. That actually kind of a rare event to find them very far north of the everglades.
