From late this afternoon at Anhinga Trail in the Everglades Natl. Park in South Dade.
Nikon D3, Nikon 200-400mm @ 400mm F4, 1/1000, ISO 400, Manual Mode.
Cropped from left and bottom, added top canvas.
I like the raised wing position and flight capture angle. The legs are nice and parallel. You have good color rendition and sharp details on the Heron, with a good head angle and sharp eye contact. Your subject is placed just right in frame, and the baby blue sky compliments him well, bringing out his colors...congrats...:cool:
I like the pose and the position in the frame. I thik that toning down the sky just a litle bit would improve the result. The left wing seems to show a blue cast and the eye looks overprocessed to my taste. Very good details in the underwing areas.
