Hi Giova,
I've edited your link for the image to show up in the thread, and for a thumbnail to be generated. You should paste your image link in the field once in the "Insert Image" option (sqaure yellow icon with mountains) for this to work rather than just pasting the link inside the thread.
Pretty cool scene you witnessed here. Too bad the subject(s) are so small in the frame - I would probably crop left and top if the details can take it. I also wish the prey had its head towards us, but you obviously cannot control that :-) Nice habitat depicted. A bit more sharpening for web presentation would be great.
While the action is really cool, I think the bird is just too small in the frame and based on the amount of noise in the background I guess this was already a significant crop? I masked the heron and did some noise reduction to the background (BG) but it is still visible. There appears to be just not enough detail in the bird itself which in my honest opinion is the biggest let down here. Nevertheless, the action somewhat compensates. :) I adjusted levels, curves, and in selective color added +6 black to the white channel, +2 black to blacks and neutrals.
Welcome Giova and thanks Akos. Giova, Please post the full frame image that you captured with the original exposure, that is without lightening or darkening the image (most likely the former....)

Hello Arthur
I am honored about your hrlp! Thanks..
I not tried to put the file so I put the link of the original raw file only converted by camera raw without particular setting (only changed profile from Rgb to Srgb).
I put there also the link (I you would like see it) of another shoot (I have more) where the mouse is more visible
Thanks a lot
Giovanni

Thanks Giovanni, I like the second one a bit better. The big problem with the original post is that the legs of the Black-headed Heron are blocked by the tall grass and low bushes... I was surprised that it was so small a crop... The BKGR looks weird in all of them. We say that images that yield those sorts of BKGrs have bad BOKEH. The noise accentuates that.
Best way to improve this would have been to use the 2X rather than the 1.4X.

BKGR = background. Boken is hard to define. I see it as an annoying jangly look to the background. Some lenses have bad Bokeh at specific apertures....

Thanks again for your help
to avoid the problem that you mentioned could be good a little crop...

You are welcome (YAW) A crop would help with everything but the blocked legs.
