The Heron contrast nicely with the BG just wish he was fly towards you slightly more to get a better head angle instead of away from you as he is here.

Thanks for the critiques, Harshad and Don.
I agree with Don about the angle but, aside from that, I really like this image. To me, you've struck a great balance between bird and habitat which informs rather than detracts. Nicely done Terry.
Thanks for the input, Leo, and for taking the time to comment. My goal is to improve, and I find the quality of comments very helpful.
