Great exposure. Great BG and good comp. Pity the feet are not 100% visible. would also like to see the perch more in focus. Light direction not the best but you did great with it. PLeasing image well done

[Tony Whitehead]

Very nice colours around the eye and bill, Scott. I would have probably gone for a wider aperture to try and blur out the BG a bit more and maybe used some flash to open up the shadows a little. The railings obscuring the foot and causing the sharp line in the BG are a bit of a distraction. Keep them coming.

Scott, I'm envious you captured a little blue heron with such pretty breeding colors and I like the background. A touch of noise reduction would actually blur it a little more if that's something you'd like to try. Too bad about the perch but you get what you can at Wako!

Definately beautiful breeding plumage; but it's a tricolored.

[Scott Goetz]

David,
I think you are right. It's a tricolored.
Thanks.

Scott
