Green Heron

[Oscar Zangroniz]

This guy decided to walk across the road yesterday at Shark Valley on an overcast afternoon.
Nikon D3, Nikon 300mm 2.8vr w/1.4tc @420mm, F4, 1/640, iso 400, aperture priority

Oscar- this IMO is one of your best, and a good example of why I love overcast conditions! Good composition and pose, color rendition excellent, and details good as well. I would like to see more room between the right foot and bottom border- shouldn't be too difficult to add space and work the clone-stamp tool. Good job! regards~Bill

Great color and detail Another vote for a little more room at the bottom. consider lighten the face eye area a little TFS

[Bill Dix]

Oscar: Wonderful colors and extended-neck pose. I concur with the extra room at bottom. It looks like he's walking uphill. Would some CCW rotation be in order?

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Here's the re post with a little more room at the bottom as suggested

A good looking bird indeed Oscar...I like the fine feather details and the color rendition...the repost with the added bottom canvas is spot on...:D Did you see any gators at Shark Valley?:cool:

[Katie Rupp]

Oh Oscar, this is spot-on...I also like overcast day lighting. Sharp, great color and pose and makes me smile.

[Thanaboon Jearkjirm]

Sharp with lots of feather details, and colorful too. I like the version with room added at the bottom.

[Bob Decker]

What a cool bird. Love the feather detail and color.

What a wonderful, photogenic bird. All the techs look spot on. Great that you got a Green Heron in the open like this. Love the foot.
Terrific image - well done
