    I flushed this Green Heron at Viera when I was trying to get into position to photograph a pair of Otters, never got that shot but this guy stayed out in the open long enough for me to get a few images.

    40D, 500 f/4 + 1.4TC, 1/100 at f/7.1, Aperture Priority, Evaluative Metered + 1/3, ISO 400, Raw, Tripod.

    Good exposure, and nice details. Could use a bit more room at bottom to balance out the comp. The light coming from the right side is not too bad on the subject itself, but it cast a nasty shadow on the perch. There is a pale halo showing up near the tail? Well done to take advantage of that opportunity :-)

    Do not know how I missed the issue with the tail. Thanks

    Looks good to me, shadow doesn't bother me as the light looks very harsh, you've done a good job in the situation.

    Nice work.

    Well done on the repost. A nice clean image. Nice job adding a bit more to the bottom on the repost. My only wish is for the bird's head to have been on sraighter, i.e., turned a bit more towards you.
