Nicely done. Good wing position and lots of detail. Nice to see the clear shot of the head as well. Our Black Crowned Night Herons seem to like roosting during the day and i have yet to see one flying. Well done. Dave

Very nice pose and detail in the face. The high contrast face is a magnet to the AF. Shame on the deep shadow in the belly.

Hi Chris,
Sweet pose and details.....for me the shadow makes the head/breast stand out more so in this case.....I'll disagree with Fabs:(.....I feel the shadow adds a bit more needed depth in this one.
