Great timing, Loukie. Really like that intense heron stare and the fish in the bill. Selectively blurring the BG may be an option. My main issue is that there seems to be a strong green/yellow cast to the image which accentuates the green back but makes everything else look a bit weird. How does this version look to you?

Nice job with the repost Tony! A little more eye contact would be nice Loukie, but your timing was good.

Much better on the re-post Tony, nice timing on this image Loukie, well done.
