Days Old (Habitat)

[Scott Frye]

Green Heron at Gilbert Water Ranch (Gilbert, Arizona)

This guy is just out of his nest (the nest is about a foot to the right). It was hard for me determine the sharpness what with all the fuzziness of this guy.

Cool pose and eye contact, he has quite some growing up to do. Sharpness looks good, too, I only find the OOF branch in the foreground a bit distracting.

Unbelievable and adorable, he's looking to Heaven for strength :)
I like the habitat included a lot. Some feet!

Scott, great sighting. His feet are larger than his head, and love the pose. Good sharp detail on the head, and hope he grows up well.

Wonderful habitat shot, love it. What a great day in the life moment!

Scott, This is so precious, I love the inclusion of habitat! Details and pose are great!

Scott
What a character......with those big eyes and feet. Being a youngster, I'd expect him to be surrounded in his habitat. I think you did well to have most of him free and clear of the branches. Well done.
